Overview

The Fanstel LN60G840F is a compact M.2 form factor wireless module designed for IoT applications. It integrates a Nordic nRF9160 SiP for LTE-M/NB-IoT and GPS capabilities, along with a Nordic nRF52840 for Bluetooth Low Energy (v5.2), Thread, and Zigbee. This combination provides a versatile solution for secure, low-power cellular and short-range wireless connectivity.

Why Choose This Part

This module offers a highly integrated solution, combining LTE-M/NB-IoT, GPS, and Bluetooth 5.2 (with Thread/Zigbee support) into a single M.2 package. Its Cortex-M33 core with 1024KB Flash and 256KB RAM provides ample processing power and memory for embedded applications. The wide operating temperature range of -40C to 85C ensures reliability in challenging environments.

Applications

Asset Tracking
Utilizing LTE-M/NB-IoT for wide area coverage and GPS for precise location, the module is suitable for tracking industrial assets, vehicles, or logistics containers.
Smart City Infrastructure
Enabling connectivity for smart streetlights, environmental sensors, and utility metering with robust cellular and mesh networking options.
Industrial IoT (IIoT)
Providing reliable, low-power communication for sensors and control systems in factories, agriculture, and remote monitoring applications.
Wearable Devices
Its compact size and low power consumption make it suitable for connected wearable health monitors or fitness trackers requiring both local and wide-area connectivity.
Smart Home Hubs
Supporting Thread and Zigbee for local device control, alongside Bluetooth and cellular for cloud connectivity and remote management.
