Reliable, Region-Ready Connectivity for Scalable IoT Deployments
The Cavli C16QS is an LTE Cat 1bis IoT module built for OEMs who need dependable connectivity, a compact footprint, and the flexibility to deploy across multiple regions. Compliant with 3GPP Release 14, it’s designed for asset tracking, POS terminals, remote monitoring, smart metering, logistics, and industrial IoT applications.
With optional integrated GNSS, the C16QS is well suited to location-based use cases like fleet tracking, asset monitoring, and mobility devices. Integrated eSIM options are also available, allowing remote connectivity management via Cavli’s Hubble Connectivity and IoT Module Management platform. Combined with DFOTA support, low-power modes, independent LTE/GNSS power control, and edge-based GPS processing, the C16QS gives OEMs a solid foundation for building scalable, power-efficient connected products.
For solution makers moving off legacy 2G/3G networks, the C16QS offers a practical LTE Cat 1bis migration path — supporting moderate data throughput, long-term network lifecycle, and streamlined multi-region deployment.
