Golioth works with the Qualcomm chipsets designed for Internet of Things. Qualcomm LTE modems are purpose-built for devices and applications which operate on LPWAN, which includes wearables, asset trackers, health monitors, security systems, smart city sensors, and smart meters.
The Qualcomm 9205 LTE modem is a multi-band, multi-mode solution with extended RF frequency support from 450MHz to 2.1GHz to enable more than 23 global RF bands. Its high reliability, low latency, and voice support of Rel.14 LTE Cat-M1 (eMTC), along with extended coverage and delay tolerance of Rel.14 LTE NB-2 (NB-IoT), make it a robust, cutting-edge modem solution. And 2G/E-GPRS support is designed to allow for connectivity in areas where LTE IoT is not yet deployed.
Qualcomm 9205 is 50% smaller than its predecessor. With integrated flash, RAM, and RF front-end, it is also more cost effective.
Qualcomm 9205 features reduce power consumption by up to 70% in idle mode compared to its predecessor. This power consumption reduction, along with an ultra-low system level cutoff voltage and advanced battery management features, allows Qualcomm 9205 to support wide range of batteries with extended battery life.
Qualcomm 9205 uses the latest generation (gen9) Qualcomm® GNSS engine, with support for both a dedicated GNSS antenna and a cellular + GNSS shared antenna, for maximum design flexibility on the end-device.
