ST expands ST87M01 NB-IoT module platform with certifications for North America and Brazil
STMicroelectronics has completed certification of ST87M01 NB-IoT modules in North America and Brazil, letting IoT projects in both regions leverage the modules’ 5G-ready connectivity, optional extra features, and supply-chain advantages.
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 localisation and asset tracking. ST is working with Onomondo — a global IoT network operator trusted by enterprises worldwide — 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. Our collaboration with Onomondo adds a further dimension to this — giving customers a proven global connectivity platform to deploy, manage, and scale their applications across North America with speed and confidence,” said Domenico Arrigo, General Manager, Application Specific Product Division, STMicroelectronics.
Wanig Le Pennec, Director of Global Partnerships at Onomondo, added, “Our work with ST brings energy-efficient, compact modules and global connectivity into one certified solution, giving teams across North America a faster route into these markets, with full visibility into every device and the control to optimise performance and manage costs as their fleet grows.”
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. Customers can now bring to market compact, energy-efficient, and highly scalable solutions that are fully aligned with the demands of Brazil’s evolving connected infrastructure.
ST’s Domenico Arrigo commented, “Brazil represents one of the most dynamic and fast-growing IoT markets in Latin America, driven by strong government initiatives and a thriving enterprise ecosystem. With Anatel certification now secured, the ST87M01 brings its geolocation capabilities, outstanding energy efficiency, and large-scale deployment simplicity to customers who are ready to realize those opportunities.”
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.
