Encore Networks Routers First to be Certified for Category 1 on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Network

Utility Hardened and Commercial Grade EN™ Routers Certified for M2M/IoT Applications

CHANTILLY, Va.--()--Encore Networks, a leading manufacturer of wireline, cellular, and satellite VPN routers, today announced at CTIA Super Mobility 2015 that their EN™ series of routers has been certified compliant for Category 1 (CAT1) on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. CAT1 is low-cost, low-power and is ideal for numerous M2M and IoT devices that don’t require the high throughput of CAT 3 and 4 LTE solutions. The CAT1 LTE solution is available on both the EN-4000™ and the newest, low cost EN-1000™ M2M routers.

“New CAT1 LTE chipset platforms and modules have dropped prices to help create momentum for LTE which has taken on greater importance in the exploding M2M and IoT markets,” said Krishna Ragireddy, Vice-President of Engineering for Encore Networks. “CAT1 is a streamlined transport which makes it the perfect solution for industries requiring network longevity, lower data throughput and LTE’s low latency.”

“This Verizon certification will accelerate adoption of single-mode LTE for numerous wireless applications,” stated Peter Madsen, President of Encore Networks. “CAT1 is the cost effective solution to accelerate the migration to LTE for millions of deployed 2G connections.”

In a separate release, Encore will introduce, at CTIA Super Mobility 2015 in Las Vegas, the EN-1000™, an ultra-low cost CAT1 LTE router optimized specifically for M2M and IoT devices on the Verizon 4G LTE network.

Encore’s EN-1000™ will be on display live at the CTIA Super Mobility 2015 * Sands Expo, Las Vegas * September 9-11 * Booth #5738 in the M2M Pavilion.
