MTC2-N9151
LooUQ is excited to announce the debut of our newest embedded modem, the MTC2-N9151, based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151 module. The MTC2-N9151 ushers in a new paradigm for LooUQ with a truly “smart” modem. The nRF9151 has an Arm Cortex-M33 as a dedicated application processor, fully programmable for the user, with 1MB of FLASH, 256kB of RAM, and a broad array of peripherals. With the MTC2-N9151 you do not need a separate MCU chip in your design.
Communications is top-shelf with support for LTE-M and NB-IoT across all public provider networks. But you can go infrastructure free with optional DECT-NR+ firmware. DECT-NR+ is a robust 5G specified wireless technology for building private IoT networks. When running standard LTE firmware, a GNSS receiver is also available.
Running at 64MHz, the MTC2-N9151 can run demanding IoT sense and control applications. Security is rock solid too, the nRF9151 module includes the Arm TrustZone and Arm CryptoCell security features. By leveraging the straight forward development features of the Nordic Connect SDK, the MTC2-N9151 is fully integrated into the Nordic style of embedded application development. With LooUQ provided templates and overlays you can quickly build rich Zephyr RTOS applications.

CR-LTEM2
Same form-factor as the original LTEm1. Lower cost without simultaneous cellular/GNSS functions. The LTEm2 is powered by the Quectel BG95-M3 with full support for LPWAN protocols: CAT-M1, NB-IOT, and EGPRS.
The LTEm2 is also available by special order with the Eagle Electronics I490 module “Made in Ohio”.
Features
Extensive application protocol support in firmware, including HTTP(S), MQTT(S), Sockets (UDP/TCP/SSL/TLS)
Persistent file system storage
Fully supported by LooUQ’s LTEmC software driver

CR-LTEM1
The LTEm1 is the original LooUQ cellular device for low-power IoT communications combining network and GNSS location functionality in a small embedded system form-factor. Powered by the Quectel BG96 module, the LTEm1 offers rich internal protocol support and GNSS functionality.
It works seamlessly with popular IoT development boards and is supported by the LooUQ LTEmC open-source communications driver.
The LTEm1 is nearly identical in function to the LTEm2, but offers simultaneous LTE and GNSS operations.
The CR-LTEM1 is available by special order.
LTEmC Software
LTEmC is LooUQ’s device software for LTEm series modems. All of the LTEm modems are supported with the same library. The discovery of the device and the features available is automatically determined at device initialization. LTEmC is written with portability in mind using C99 language standards and small memory footprint is a key design consideration. Dynamic memory allocation is limited to library initialization, with no free/allocate cycling. Dynamic memory allocation can be completely eliminated with adjustments to your project’s linking directives.
LTEmC is freely distributed as a GPL-3.0 open-source library. Proprietary licenses are available, please contact LooUQ for more information.
