Sierra Wireless, Inc. announced the collaboration with Verizon and Altair to Deliver Category M1 - Wireless Module for use on Verizon's 4G LTE Network. The Sierra Wireless Cat-M1 module is based on the Altair ALT-1210 LTE platform. The ALT-1210 is one of the first chipsets supporting LTE Cat-M1 connectivity.

The ALT-1210 enables greater than 10 years of battery life for many use cases, and features Release 13 Cat-M1 extended coverage and IoT-optimized throughput. Sierra Wireless AirPrime HL and WP Series modules are the smallest embedded modules (22 x 23 mm) to be completely interchangeable across 2G, 3G, 4G and LPWA technologies. They use the CF3 form factor, which is footprint compatible across product lines, providing customers with the option to develop smarter by building their connected IoT product or service on a single module.
