P16QS LTE Cat 1bis IoT Module
The Cavli P16QS is a compact LTE Cat 1bis System-on-Module (SoM) designed for secure IoT and connected payment applications that require reliable cellular connectivity, robust computing, and hardware-backed security. Built to comply with 3GPP Release 14 specifications, the module is suitable for OEMs developing connected devices for POS terminals, cost-effective instrument clusters, RTOS-based telematics, and secure IoT applications. Powered by a 32-bit RISC-V processor operating at 325 MHz, P16QS integrates an application MCU, LTE Cat 1bis modem, and secure element into a compact module.
The P16QS module supports optional integrated GNSS with GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS for location-based IoT applications. It also features Wi-Fi 6.0 and BLE 5.4 connectivity, enabling comprehensive wireless communication alongside LTE Cat 1bis. Available with optional integrated eSIM, P16QS supports remote connectivity and device management through the Cavli Hubble platform. With low-power consumption, power-saving modes, audio capabilities, and multiple peripheral interfaces, the module enables OEMs to develop scalable, secure, and power-efficient connected products.
P16QS is especially suited for smart payment systems, secure IoT devices, and RTOS-based telematics applications. Its integrated secure element provides hardware-level protection for payment credentials and sensitive data, while the application MCU handles core logic, Wi-Fi/BLE connectivity, audio processing, and peripheral interfaces. The LTE Cat 1bis modem ensures reliable wide-area server connectivity when Wi-Fi is unavailable, making P16QS suitable for connected applications that require secure communication and efficient processing.
The P16QS module is designed for deployment in India, supporting LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 8, 38, 40, and 41. It features a compact 40.0 x 30.0 x 2.7 mm LGA package, with optional integrated GNSS and eSIM capabilities, enabling flexible integration into connected payment terminals, Low-cost instrument clusters, and telematics devices.
