New ordering part numbers for
MultiTech Dragonfly™
4G-LTE Cat 1 and Cat M1 Cellular
Embedded Cellular Modems and SoMs
II. Summary
MultiTech is releasing new ordering part numbers for certain Dragonfly™ LTE Cat 1 and Cat M1 embedded cellular modem and SoM products. These new ordering part numbers contain an updated revision of the printed circuit board with alternate components. This change is in response to global supply chain issues. MultiTech has redesigned these models with components that may be more readily available.
Existing ordering part numbers will remain active. Customers will need to consult with their MultiTech reseller or distributor to determine which of the ordering part numbers have the best availability at any given time and order accordingly. It is likely that the new ordering part numbers will have the best availability at the time of this announcement.
The primary change was replacing a series of voltage level translators with replacements that currently have better availability. The modem firmware and other critical components remain unchanged.
The core functionality of the new ordering part numbers has not changed. MultiTech has made these updates to address global supply chain issues with the goal of providing reduced lead times.
