HL7845 LPWA Module for the Smart Energy Market in Europe

The most power efficient and secure LTE-M and NB-IoT module that supports the LTE 450MHz bands for IoT smart metering applications.

HL7845 supports 3GPP’s Release 14 features to enable faster data speeds and further reduce the power consumption of your solutions. The module also supports both private and public mobile operator bands for flexibility and maximum coverage between the private and public networks. To ease development and reduce certification time for your battery-powered utility smart meters, the HL7845 comes pre-certified with RED and GCF approvals.

When it comes to building critical infrastructure such as smart grids and meters, you want to work with a trusted partner like Semtech (formerly Sierra Wireless) with over 25 years of success and experience in working with top smart meter manufacturers. We are part of the 450MHz Alliance and are highly involved to help build the future in the energy market.
