These are just some common examples of CAT1 chips, there are other vendors on the market. The specific selection of the appropriate CAT1 chip should be determined based on project requirements, vendor support and availability.


CAT1 (Category 1) is a low-power wireless communication technology primarily used for the connectivity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The CAT1 chips are as follows:
1. Qualcomm MDM9x07 series: This series of chips is introduced by Qualcomm and is the main CAT1 chip used in the market. It supports 4G LTE networks with low power consumption, high performance and extensive network coverage.
2. Sequans Monarch series: This series of chips is launched by Sequans Communications and is also a commonly used CAT1 chip. With its low power consumption, small size and wide network compatibility, it is suitable for a variety of iot applications.
3. Altair FourGee-1110 Series: This series of chips is introduced by Altair Semiconductor and is also a common CAT1 chip. It has low power consumption and small size, is suitable for the connection of iot devices, and supports multiple communication technologies.
These chips are designed with low power consumption and are suitable for battery-powered devices that need to run for a long time, such as smart homes, smart meters, remote monitoring, etc. They provide reliable connectivity and good network performance, providing a reliable communication solution for iot applications.


According to the introduction of fresh Miao, Unigroup's chip for Cat.1 field is Chunteng 8910DM, which supports LTE Cat.1 BIS, GSM dual-mode, and supports VoLTE enh and eDRX \/PSM, which further reduces power consumption, and can also be upgraded to R14 protocol version through software. In April 2019, Unigroup and Rohde & Schwarz successfully passed the RF certification and wireless resource management conformance test of LTE Cat.1 products, marking that Unigroup's Internet of Things Cat.1 chip platform has met the technical conditions for pre-commercial use. In March 2020, the Cat.1 module L610 based on Chunteng 8910DM completed the test and storage of China Telecom.
