Recently for a period of time, again so crazy hype CAT1 module, then CAT1 could become the new darling of the Internet of things era? Personally, I talk about my shallow view, welcome to the great god add correct,

First look at the background of CAT1: CAT1 this technique, is not the new technology, as early as two or three years ago, qualcomm is out of the CAT1 module, at the same time, introduced and e - MTC, NB - IOT technology, but then CAT1 module cost is higher, generally above 100, so few customers interested in,

With the mature of domestic chip technology and the thought of open platform, the communications industry also gradually made an upsurge in the wind, with zte micro platform, show sharp platform, ASR platform, haisi platform, RDA platform of domestic launch platform, such as the price of 4 g communication module from more than 200 all the way down to the present 70-80 yuan, the lowest about $60 (different platform price), of course, have to the point of fall is fall, I often tell customers, now buy our modules, like go to the supermarket to buy cigarettes, across the country are basically a price, how poor fill also poor, many customers will feel communication module in a product of a lot of cost, there should be a big price cut space, in fact, if single calculate profit, profit in the whole BOM communication module, even if they aren't the lowest, also must be a reciprocal which, generally is about five o 'clock, some even two or three points, in order to do performance, running water, so, in this context, the 4 g module wants to have a space to reduce the price again, you must cut off something, show sharp, so domestic module manufacturer attracts 8910 dm delete cuts into the now CAT1 baseband chips, the other part of the module manufacturer for ASR the advantage of low cost, in 3601 to do CAT1 module, but in the end, is to reduce the price for the purpose of a marketing,

Technically again, actually CAT1 if necessary must vigorously promote, personally, I have a question mark, for many Internet users, currently in 2 g module can meet the performance requirements, CAT1 you want to change because of 2 g signal is worse and worse, it is necessary and part of the customer, because before the 4 g, but want to cost reduction, if the data quantity is not big, change CAT1 is more cost-effective,

My sense is that, in general, CAT1 although do not have to change at present, but with 2 g base stations in the network back, CAT1 reduced costs, and some guidance of national policy, CAT1 the next few years to become the mainstream of the low speed Internet communication trends, don't know what do you think about, welcome to leave comments, thank you!

CAT1 module will become the center of gravity of the low rate of market, products are the most important is the price, and he in transmission rate, the number of base stations, price system, power consumption, etc, all have advantage, there is no doubt that eat the module market half of the amount, the development of the Internet of things is not likely to rely on high rate to support, must be timely, convenience is given priority to, in my opinion, too, will become the mainstream of low-speed wireless communication market,

You can find module network "(http://www.zhaomokuai.com), there will be various module data as well as the corresponding agent, hoping to facilitate everybody do product selection
