To allow engineers to develop Laird Connectivity’s Summit system on module (SoM) 8M Plus, for IoT applications, Mouser Electronics now stocks the Summit SOM 8M Plus development kit.

The kit allows the development of advanced wireless IoT applications, including industrial IoT devices for harsh environments, IoT vision solutions, and healthcare devices.

At the heart of the Laird Connectivity Summit SOM 8M Plus Development Kit is the Summit SOM 8M Plus, which combines NXP’s i.MX 8M Plus applications processor with an NXP 88W8997 wireless SoC. The Summit SOM 8M Plus includes an integrated 2.3Toperations per second (TOPS) neural processing unit, advanced connectivity and enhanced security, providing the hardware acceleration necessary for machine learning applications. The quad-core processor can run multiple instances of Linux, including user interface and connectivity.

The Summit SOM 8M Plus development kit includes reference designs for display, camera, audio, LTE, GPS and USB 3.0 power. There are interfaces to support up to three displays and multiple options for audio, camera, video out and I/O. There is also dual-band 2×2 Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, for reliable connection, even in challenging environments, said Mouser. In addition to the security of the Summit SOM 8M Plus, the Summit Suite chain of trust offers root of trust hardware-based software validation and an upcoming FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) cryptographic module validation.

Mouser Electronics, a Berkshire Hathaway company, is an authorised semiconductor and electronic component distributor focused on new product introductions from its leading manufacturer partners. The distributor’s website, mouser.com, is available in multiple languages and currencies.

Telit’s LN920 LTE data card with an integrated Qualcomm Snapdragon X12+ LTE modem is now available from Rutronik. The compact M.2 form factor measures just 30 x 42 x 2.4mm, making it suitable for laptops, tablets as well as enterprise routers and IIoT gateways. 

The LN920 data card has high download speeds of 300 to 600Mbit per second (the Cat. 6 (LN92046-WW) and LTE Cat. 12 / LN920A12-WW respectively). It is also characterised by GNSS positioning. The broad frequency band support ensures it works worldwide, said Rutronik. The distributor offers the LN920 LTE variants Cat. 6 or Cat. 12.

The data card supports all cellular bands between 600MHz and 3.7GHz, including Band 14 (First Responder) and Band 48 (CBRS). This makes it suitable for private and public LTE applications worldwide, confirmed Rutronik. Combined with pre-certifications by regulators and Tier 1 operators in Europe, Australia, the USA, Japan and Canada, the LN920 supports rapid development of global SKU (stock keeping unit) devices. 

Maintenance for Telit’s standard 3GPP and custom AT commands are included in both Cat.6 and Cat. 12 variants. The data cards support security features qualified for enterprise applications, such as secure environment SE Linux and secure boot. 

Operating temperature range is -40 to + 85 degrees C.
