The Thales Cinterion® ENS22 IoT wireless module marries future
5G connectivity with expanded coverage and enhanced security
features to connect and protect industrial IoT solutions. Delivering
data speeds up to 27 Kbit/s downlink and 63 Kbit/s uplink, the
ENS22 IoT module is ideal for long life data-only solutions such
as utility meters and smart city solutions.
Key Features
The Cinterion ENS22 IoT module platform offers a suite of NB-IoT
connectivity solutions optimized specifically for IoT applications
and prepared to support release 14 without the need to migrate
to a new chipset. It delivers Five Band LTE (3, 5, 8, 20, 28)
connectivity with deep indoor coverage and extended range
in rural areas. The module offers a built-in IP stack which
supports a range of internet services protected by an enhanced
security concept. An optional integrated MIM authenticates IoT
devices, encrypts data, and securely manages connection to
cellular networks. An optional embedded Secure Element offers
an added layer of security for extra sensitive applications.
Incremental Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates allow
revision of only the portion of code that needs updating, saving
power and bandwidth to extend the life span of IoT solutions.
The module’s simplified power supply design and advanced
management system extends battery lifetime and improves TCO.
Industrial Famiy Benefits
The Cinterion ENS22 IoT wireless module is part of Thales’s
Industrial family, which offers reliability, M2M-optimized features
and extreme efficiency for a range of cellular standards from 2G
to 3G to LTE Cat. 1 and other Low-Power Wide-Area categories
including LTE-M. All Industrial modules share an identical
footprint enabling seamless backward and forward migration to
protect your IoT investment as technology needs change. Smart
module variants with embedded systems powered by Java and
Linux improve design simplicity and Total Cost of Ownership. All
Cinterion modules are compatible with Thales’s comprehensive
suite of solutions, services and platforms that help enterprises
Connect, Secure and Monetize™ IoT technology.

IoT Advanced Power Saving
In addition to standard 3GPP power saving capabilities, the
module’s advanced power management system lowers energy
consumption under varying network scenarios, including for
networks that do not yet support PSM/eDRX features.
Incremental FOTA
Incremental FOTA updates allow revision of only the portion of
code that needs updating. This significantly reduces transmission
time, power draw and throughput, which are all essential in
preserving the investment in NB-IoT technology as well as the
long life of IoT solutions.
Optional eSIM
Leveraging Thales’s heritage in securely managing billions
of digital credentials, the Cinterion NB-IoT platform offers an
optionally integrated eSIM. Thales eSIMs authenticate IoT
devices, encrypt data and securely manage connections to
cellular networks. Embedded into the IoT module, eSIMs reduce
the size and cost of solutions while strengthening security and
reliability.
