A brief note about the C16QS

C16QS is an LTE Cat 1.bis module that complies with 3GPP release 14 specifications, specifically designed for IoT and M2M applications. It offers support for optional integrated GNSS, making it well-suited for location tracking applications. Additionally, it provides the option of an integrated eSIM, enabling global connectivity through the Cavli Hubble Device and connectivity management platform. The C16QS module is available in two variants tailored for specific regions: C16QS-EA for EMEA and APAC regions, and C16QS-NA for the North American region. It maintains pin compatibility with Cavli C42GM and C42QM modules. With its focus on low power consumption, the C16QS module is an excellent choice for IoT applications such as e-mobility, asset tracking, POS devices, telematics, and more.
