Telit expands its Qualcomm Technologies-based portfolio with new LTE concept product
MWC, Barcelona, February 25, 2013 - Telit Communications PLC, (AIM: TCM, "Telit" or the "Company"), the leading machine-to-machine (m2m) wireless technology company, today announced the expansion of its long-standing relationship with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), marked by the introduction of a 4G LTE product and the development of variants for the company's top selling 3G modules in the xE910 product family.
The LE910, based on Qualcomm Technologies' GobiTM MDM9215, will be Telit's first LTE module delivered in the xE910 product family, and the company's second LTE offering, following the LE920 LTE automotive-grade module announced last year.
In January 2013 Telit introduced two new xE910 modules featuring Qualcomm chipsets. The expansion of this xE910 product range will continue in 2013, focusing on modules in 3G leading to LTE.
In the Telit booth at Mobile World Congress (Hall 5, G70) visitors can glean the breadth of the product portfolio at the "Qualcomm Technologies Corner," including existing and prototype products and their respective chipsets.
The integration of Qualcomm chipsets make the adaptation of customer applications to regional technical requirements quicker and easier, minimizing time to market and total cost of ownership.
Oozi Cats, CEO of Telit said:
"The increased scope of our relationship with Qualcomm comes at an exciting time, when we are seeing strong demand from the m2m market for our products and solutions. By expanding our portfolio with products such as the LE910 module we can address the 3G and 4G market which were previously beyond our reach."
Nakul Duggal, vice president of product management, new markets of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc said:
"We are pleased to work with Telit to bring 4G LTE to the CDMA, HSPA and HSPA+ platforms based on certain Qualcomm Technologies' chipsets," said. "Qualcomm Technologies has an extensive 3G and 4G LTE chipset portfolio, helping Telit deliver solutions in various product tiers to address the myriad of technical and regional needs of M2M and IoE developers."
