Telit announced a strategic partnership with WEG which selected Telit's FN980m module for connectivity testing in its Open Lab WEG/V2COM project conducted in partnership with the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI) and the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). Thanks to its support for 5G FR1 (Sub 6GHz) and FR2 (mmWave) bands, WEG integrated the FN980m into the Electric Motor plant in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil to connect all the robots in the production line. Anatel will use the 5G test results to illustrate better performance to WEG over current connectivity solutions used in industry automation such as fiber optics, ethernet cable and Wi-Fi. Telit's FN980m?powered by the Snapdragon? X55 5G Modem-RF System?supports up to 6.5 Gbps download (DL) and 3 Gbps upload (UL) speeds, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as professional video broadcasting, digital signage and industrial IoT among other use cases. Supporting all major frequency bands, it gives service providers and their customers maximum deployment flexibility.
