The products? high sensitivity, link budget and data rates make them ideal for applications in areas such as solar and wind farms, oil and gas and agricultural automation.

The LE70-915?s 142dB radio link budget makes integration with the host hardware simple, lowering BOM costs.  LT70-868 terminal also delivers a high 144dB link budget. Both products are rated for continuous 500mW configurable radio output power operation combined with high sensitivity (-117dBm), delivering a reliable operating range of up to 10Km.  And the ultra-low standby current allows use of the devices in battery powered electronic designs for applications such as soil moisture and pipeline monitors, hall-effect closure detectors and PIR surveillance devices requiring battery replacement cycles in multiples of years. Both the terminal and module have single-digit micro-Amp standby currents.

The compact module is housed in a 26x15x3mm LGA package, the terminal in a 100x66x46mm rugged IP67 metal enclosure and is capable of sustaining data rates up to 57.6Kbps, providing customers a wide array of application possibilities. The AES encryption feature allows the products to be applied in devices and systems transmitting sensitive data. As a member of the Telit Short Range module family, the LE70-915 is fully form-factor compatible with all its ZigBee, Wireless M-BUS and Low-Power Mesh counterparts.
