Fibocom, a global contributor in wireless communication modules and edge AI solutions, has announced the launch of its global LTE Cat.1 bis module, LE271-GL, providing IoT devices with single-SKU global connectivity. With compact size, global frequency coverage, low power consumption and high compatibility, the LE271-GL offers a cost-effective 4G solution for worldwide IoT applications such as asset tracking, IP cameras, new energy systems and consumer electronics.
Compact design and global coverage
Measuring 17.7mm × 15.8mm, the LE271-GL is pin-to-pin compatible with Fibocom’s MC661, LE270 and LE37X series, as well as other modules of similar packaging. Customers can migrate without changing PCB designs. Supporting both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE bands, the module covers all big global frequencies under a single SKU, simplifying inventory management and reducing logistics costs for international deployment.
High performance and fast network access
The LE271-GL ensures quick and stable connections, achieving network registration in under 3.5 seconds. Optimised AT command response and USB enumeration improve device startup and connectivity efficiency. Its OpenCPU architecture provides flexibility for secondary development, lowering overall device costs.
Ultra-low power and extended battery life
Optimised for battery-powered applications, the LE271-GL achieves microamp-level sleep current and supports DRX and other low-power modes. Interfaces including VDD_EXT and multiple GPIOs remain powered in standby, ensuring long battery life while maintaining critical functionality.
Rich functionality and strong compatibility
LE271-GL supports LBS + Wi-Fi scan positioning (for indoor and international use), eSIM, and single/dual-SIM configurations. It integrates USB, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, LCD, Camera and GPIO interfaces, and supports TTS, MQTT, HTTP and SSL protocols for versatile IoT applications.
Now in the engineering sample stage, Fibocom’s LE271-GL sets a new benchmark for global Cat.1 bis connectivity, enabling customers and partners worldwide to explore new opportunities in the IoT market.
