Overview

The GM02S-GM02RBAQRM is an LTE Cat M1/NB1/NB2 cellular module based on the Monarch 2 platform, designed specifically for massive IoT applications. It features a wide voltage range of 2.2V to 5.5V and an ultra-low power deep sleep mode that consumes only 1 microamp, making it ideal for battery-operated devices requiring long-term field deployment.

Why Choose This Part

This module offers an industry-leading deep sleep current of 1uA, significantly extending the life of primary cell batteries. Its wide operating voltage of 2.2V to 5.5V allows for direct connection to various battery chemistries, while the compact 16.3mm x 17mm LGA package simplifies integration into space-constrained wearables and sensors.

Applications

Utility Metering
Reliable connectivity for smart water, gas, and electric meters requiring deep indoor penetration via NB-IoT.
Asset Tracking
Low-power tracking solutions for logistics and fleet management using LTE-M for mobile handovers.
Industrial Sensing
Remote monitoring of industrial equipment using integrated I2C, SPI, and ADC interfaces for sensor data acquisition.
Smart Home Infrastructure
Secure cellular backhaul for residential security systems and HVAC monitoring without relying on local Wi-Fi.

Getting Started

Engineers should utilize the Sequans Monarch 2 GM02S NEKTAR development kit for initial prototyping and cellular network verification. Development is supported via standard AT commands over the three integrated UARTs, and the module supports USIM interfaces for flexible connectivity management.
