Overview

The GM02S-GM02RBAQRH is a compact LTE Cat M1, NB1, and NB2 cellular transceiver module designed for global LPWAN connectivity. Part of the Sequans Monarch 2 platform, it features an integrated power management system supporting a wide supply voltage range from 2.2V to 5.5V and ultra-low power consumption of 1uA in sleep mode. This LGA module operates across a broad frequency range of 617MHz to 2.2GHz, making it suitable for diverse regional cellular deployments.

Why Choose This Part

The module offers a significant power advantage with its 1uA deep sleep capability and the ability to run directly from a variety of battery chemistries thanks to the 2.2V to 5.5V input range. Its small 16.3mm x 17mm LGA footprint saves PCB space while providing a high-speed 1.1Mbps data rate for Cat M1 applications. Engineers benefit from a single-module solution that supports worldwide LTE-M and NB-IoT bands including 617MHz support for improved building penetration.

Applications

Battery-Powered Asset Tracking
Utilizes 1uA sleep current to extend the life of remote tracking devices that only wake up periodically to report GPS or sensor data.
Smart Metering
Provides reliable NB-IoT connectivity for utility meters located in deep indoor or underground environments where standard cellular signals fail.
Industrial IoT Sensors
Integrates with existing industrial controllers via UART, SPI, or I2C to provide long-range cloud connectivity for vibration or environmental monitoring.
Agricultural Monitoring
Enables large-scale soil and weather monitoring across rural areas using LTE-M for wide-area coverage and low data rates.

Getting Started

Developers should begin with the Sequans Monarch 2 GM02S NEKTAR Evaluation Kit to access the module's UART interfaces and AT command set. Firmware development is typically handled via the Sequans SDK, which supports the integrated USIM interface and various low-power operating modes. Ensure your PCB design includes a 50-ohm trace to an external antenna as the module does not include an integrated antenna.
