212S

Designed to enable IoT-NTN connectivity for off-grid, stationary IoT devices that require sensing and monitoring.

The Qualcomm® 212S Modem is a cost-optimized solution designed with just the essentials for off-grid, stationary IoT applications that require IoT-NTN communication. Ultra low-power consumption means devices can be operated remotely for years, while adhering to 3GPP Release 17 standards makes it easy to establish satellite connectivity. This solution seamlessly integrates with the Qualcomm Aware™ Platform for even more robust asset management and has been tested with a Qualcomm-certified NTN antenna for accelerated integration and additional reliability in complex environments.
