PLS63-W Performance MTC Module (LTE Cat.1) Global

Flexible, Multi-Band LTE Cat.1 Platform for Global or Regional IoT Connectivity

The Thales Cinterion® PLS63-W delivers a global approach to cost-optimized IoT connectivity providing 18 Band LTE Cat.1, Seven Band 3G HSPA/UMTS and Quad-Band GSM for seamless coverage through roaming across various wireless networks. Alternatively, where a global solution is not required, a variety of regional variants with the latest network bands grouping deliver targeted connectivity for North America, Europe and APAC, Latin America and Japan.

Highly efficient, long life LTE Cat. 1

Offering IoT optimized speeds of 10Mbit/s download and 5Mbit/s uplink, the PLS63 IoT module is ideal for industrial Smart IoT applications such as vending, point of sales, transportation and industrial automation.  These applications require the longevity and stability of LTE networks along with continuous coverage in regions where a 4G connection is not present.

Delivering seamless compatibility with Cinterion LTE Cat. 4 IoT modules

The PLS63 is part of an agile suite of wireless modules including the Cinterion PLS83 that offeroffering either LTE Cat.1 or LTE Cat.4 cellular IoT connectivity, in either both global and or regional variants. In other words, for each global and regional PLS63 variant, a compatible Cinterion PLS83 LTE Cat.4 module is available offering additional bandwidth and speed along with 100% hardware and software compatibility. All Multi-Band LTE modules in the Cinterion® PLSx3 series offer seamless fall-back based on regional network availability.

Feature-packed, cost optimized, and eSIM enabled

The Cinterion PLS63 module is backed by 25 years of industrial cellular module design delivering a featured-packed solution that includes a comprehensive AT command set and embedded features such as IP connectivity, VoLTE and GNSS. Our unrivalled expertise with eSIM technology supports the option to embed the eUICC, therefore easing logistics and manufacturing while optimizing total cost of ownership. Further security features include a Secure Boot and secure key storage.

Cinterion IoT Suite ensures a lifetime of reliability and security

To ensure your assets remain connected over their long lifespan, the PLS63 together with the Cinterion IoT Suite, delivers a robust and reliable IoT solution with pre-installed keys for secure cloud enrolment, remote update and device management features.

Offered in the Cinterion Industrial Plus form factor, the PLS63 offers footprint compatibility to a range of IoT modules and a wealth of further technology families from 2G to ultra high-speed LTE.
