Your app
Pre-certified
An FCC and ISED certified cellular radio, so your product's certification starts further along.
Global coverage
A multi-carrier eSIM covers 21 LTE bands for international rollouts. No SIM cards or carrier contracts.
High bandwidth
Up to 5 Mbps up and 10 Mbps down under the Cat 1 bis spec, for gateways, telematics and larger payloads.
Edge memory
A time-series database on the module holds every reading through outages and power loss until it's back online.
Industrial grade
Rated from −40 °C to +85 °C, for outdoor and industrial sites.
Built to scale
Jooni Cloud is ready at power-up: fleet management, over-the-air updates and routing to any endpoint.

Inside the module

Interfaces

Serial API. Your device talks to the module through a simple serial API.
Command line. Set up and test the module over USB while you develop.
GPIO. Spare pins for your own signals and controls.
Reset + Enable. Hardware pins let your device reset or enable the module.

Intelligence

Jooni firmware

One API across the Jooni module family

Compression. Readings are compressed before they're sent, saving airtime and power.
Store and forward. Readings wait on the module during outages, then send.
Network routing. Every reading finds its way to Jooni Cloud.
Efficiency. Deep sleep between transmissions means battery-powered devices run longer.
Over-the-air updates. New firmware arrives over the air, with no site visit.
Cloud-synced settings. Change a setting in Jooni Cloud and the module picks it up.
Onboard storage. Data stays on the module, even through power loss.

Wireless communication

Cellular. Works on LTE Cat 1 bis, with the bandwidth for data-heavy devices.
Global eSIM. A multi-carrier global eSIM is built in, so there's no SIM card to manage.
Antenna port. Connect the antenna that suits your enclosure.

Cloud

Jooni Cloud

Included with every module

Fleet management. See every device's status in one place.
Remote configuration. Control any device and roll out updates from anywhere.
Data to your apps. Readings flow to your own systems through the APIs.

Frequently asked questions

  • Choose Cat 1 bis for devices that need more bandwidth, such as gateways, telematics units and devices that send larger payloads. For low-power sensors that report periodically, LTE-M draws less power and reaches further into buildings.

  • Under the 3GPP LTE Cat 1 bis specification, up to 5 Mbps uplink and 10 Mbps downlink. Actual rates depend on signal quality and the carrier.

  • The module supports 21 LTE bands for global coverage. See the coverage map for supported regions.

  • No. The module does not include a GNSS receiver. For positioning, choose a Jooni module with GNSS built in.

  • The cellular radio is FCC and ISED certified, which simplifies certifying your connected product. Your finished product may still require its own testing, depending on its other components.
