ST certifies NB-IoT modules for North America and Brazil

The approved modules for the USA and Canada markets, FCC, PTCRB and ISED certified, include NB-IoT Release 15 cellular connectivity and additional options of GNSS and Wi-Fi positioning for outdoor and indoor localization and asset tracking. ST is working with Onomondo to bring these certified modules to market with a ready-to-use connectivity layer, giving customers an accelerated and fully managed path to deployment across North America.

“With FCC, PTCRB, and ISED certification now in place, the ST87M01 is fully ready to power IoT deployments across the USA and Canada,” says ST’s Domenico Arrigo.

The ST87M01 module platform has also achieved Anatel certification in Brazil, further expanding its global footprint. With NB-IoT connectivity and optional GNSS/Wi-Fi positioning, the ST87M01 unlocks the full potential of Brazil’s fastest-growing IoT verticals — smart metering, smart street lighting, monitoring livestock and agriculture sensors, and asset tracking.

The modules available for each market are:

• Region-specific part numbers for USA and Canada: ST87M01-2001 with NB-IoT connectivity; ST87M01-2301 with NB-IoT and GNSS/Wi-Fi positioning.
• Anatel^[1]-certified modules in Brazil: ST87M01-1000 with NB-IoT; ST87M01-1100 and ST87M01-1101 with NB-IoT and GNSS/Wi-Fi positioning.

Close integration of all features in one device saves integration engineering challenges and costs.
