Fibocom has joined the OnGo™ Alliance, an industry organization dedicated to supporting the adoption of LTE for the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS).
OnGo Alliance membership covers the entire network ecosystem, including operators, service providers, equipment manufacturers, software developers and more. As a member, Fibocom positions itself as an enabler that brings wireless communication technology to addresses the sophisticated needs of a number of IoT scenarios, such as remote education, remote work, IIoT, amongst others.
“Fibocom will bring its technical expertise and experience to help deepen the adoption of CBRS in the market as well as add to the number of IoT deployments and use cases,” said Alan Ewing, OnGo Alliance Executive Director.
“CBRS spectrum availability represents an unprecedented opportunity for many industries to meet wireless connectivity challenges,” said Ron Friedman, VP of Americas Sales Dept., Fibocom. “By joining the OnGo Alliance, Fibocom emphasizes our commitment to a large-scale deployment of CBRS, which will provide every industry with reliable, cost-effective, and scalable wireless communications.”
In September 2021, Fibocom introduced the FM101-CG LTE-A Category 6 wireless communication module. Featuring 3GPP Release 12 capabilities, the FM101-CG module is exclusively designed to advance the commercial deployment of products operating in the CBRS spectrum. Powered by the Snapdragon® X12+ LTE Modem from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the module supports LTE TDD Band 42/43/48 and delivers maximum data rates of up 260 Mbps downlink and 30 Mbps uplink. FM101-CG adopts the M.2 form factor measuring 30.0- x 42.0- x 2.3-mm.
Along with abundant functionalities such as DFOTA, VoLTE and Audio, the Fibocom FM101-CG module supports multi-constellation GNSS receiver, including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo, for high-performance positioning and navigation. It also supports multiple operating systems (Linux/ Android/ Windows), various Internet protocols as well as a rich set of digital interfaces (USIM, USB 3.0/2.0, PCIe 2.0 and PCM/I2S), allowing much flexibility and ease of integration for customer’s application. The module has been certified by FCC/ RoHS/ HF/ TSCA/ Reach/ CE.
At present, engineering samples of FM101-CG are available for product testing and development.
