Telit Cinterion Expands Gnss Portfolio With New Dual-band Modules

Audio is not provided for this article.

Telit Cinterion, a provider of end-to-end IoT solutions, has broadened its lineup with two dual-band positioning modules: the ultracompact SE873K5-D and the flagship SE869eK5-DRK.

Powered by Airoha’s AG3335 chipset series, the modules target space- and energy-constrained IoT devices and applications that demand continuous, high-precision positioning.

Together, SE873K5-D and SE869eK5-DRK create a scalable path to L1 + L5 operation, allowing manufacturers to incorporate advanced correction methods and resilient positioning architectures without a hardware redesign.

When paired with Telit Cinterion cellular connectivity, both modules accept global RTCM correction streams, improving accuracy across connected IoT deployments.

More broadly, Telit Cinterion positions its role in a hyperconnected world around helping organizations connect, manage, and scale IoT deployments across devices, networks, and cloud-based operations.

SE873K5-D: Dual-Band L1 + L5 for Compact IoT

The SE873K5-D adds an L1 + L5 option to the established SE873K5 family.

It preserves the 7 x 7 mm footprint and pin-to-pin compatibility of the single-frequency SE873K5, enabling OEMs to elevate performance without altering existing hardware designs. Package options and the operating temperature range are detailed in the product specification sheet.

Multi-constellation tracking on L1 and L5.Resilience against interference and multipath.DGNSS via RTCM for submeter accuracy.Suitable for wearables, fleet management, and more.Two supply variants: minimal size or ultra-low power.Configurable profiles: tracking and drone modes.

SE869eK5-DRK: High-End GNSS With RTK and Dead Reckoning

The SE869eK5-DRK advances Telit Cinterion’s premium offering, leveraging the top tier of the AG3335 family and building on the earlier SE869eK5-DR by adding RTK positioning with sensor-assisted continuity. Package details and the operating temperature range are provided in the product specification sheet.

Key capabilities include:Uninterrupted, centimeter-level positioning.Maintains performance in weak/interfered/obstructed GNSS conditions.Integrated inertial measurement unit for dead reckoning.Accurate fixes through tunnels and urban environments.DGNSS for submeter results when RTK is unavailable.

The module is aimed at positioning-intensive use cases such as robotics, industrial automation, precision navigation, and other applications that require continuity when satellite signals degrade.

The 16 x 12.2 mm design follows an industry-standard form factor and introduces a proprietary extended pinout while staying backward-compatible. The additional pins enable future-ready customization, allowing OEMs to expand capabilities without redesigning products.

Learn more at Embedded World, Booth #3-620, where Telit Cinterion will present these modules. The event runs March 10–12 at the Exhibition Centre Nüremberg.

For detailed product specifications (including package type, full electrical characteristics, and operating temperature ranges), use Telit Cinterion’s official product pages and documentation downloads by searching for SE873K5-D and SE869eK5-DRK, then opening the associated datasheet, hardware guide, and integration notes.

Documents, training, and other resources are typically provided through Telit Cinterion’s support and resource areas, including product documentation downloads, knowledge-base articles, and developer-focused materials; training is commonly offered via recorded sessions, webinars, and module-specific onboarding content where available.

Evaluation and development kit requests are generally handled through Telit Cinterion sales channels and authorized distributors. A typical path is to submit a sample or kit request via the company’s sales/contact intake, or to work with a local field representative to match the right kit to the target GNSS and cellular design.

Other GNSS modules in the portfolio referenced by this launch include the single-frequency SE873K5 and the earlier SE869eK5-DR, which the new modules extend with dual-band and higher-end positioning options.

Companies with comparable footprints in IoT connectivity, modules, and wireless services include u-blox (GNSS and cellular modules), Quectel (cellular and positioning modules), Sierra Wireless (cellular devices and managed connectivity), and Semtech (LPWAN connectivity and ecosystem technologies).

Career opportunities at Telit Cinterion commonly span engineering (hardware, RF, embedded software), product management, solution architecture, sales, and customer support. Open roles and application instructions are typically listed on the company’s careers or jobs page.

Beyond Embedded World, the broader geospatial and IoT sector also convenes around major industry conferences and trade events focused on wireless, positioning, and connected devices, as well as vendor webinars and product briefings that highlight new GNSS and IoT developments.
