One of the most widely used solutions today is Category 1 4G modules. These provide sufficient speed for the vast majority of applications and are currently the most standardized system worldwide, offering lower latency and higher speeds than other technologies. If you're unsure, simply look at the technology used by 95% of mobile phones (4G), and you'll have a clue as to the most widespread technology and the one that offers the best support.
Neoway's new N715 module is a 4G Cat1 bis with 2G fallback, measuring just 23.8 x 22.8 mm. Internally, it features a Unisoc 8910DM chipset and also includes Bluetooth BLE and Wi-Fi Scan.
The main advantage of the new Cat1 bis category, compared to the previous standard Cat1, is that the new Cat1 bis uses the 3GPP Release 13 protocol or higher, which allows it to use a single antenna without sacrificing connection speed, whereas in the initial Cat1, it was necessary to have 2 antennas.
The N715 is also available in an Open CPU version, for those who want to take advantage of the MCU and internal memory to install their own application and save on an external MCU, and is available for the entire EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
