P16QS LTE Cat 1bis Module: Enabling Smart, Connected IoT Devices

The Cavli P16QS is a compact LTE Cat 1bis SoM designed for a wide range of connected applications, including payment terminals, connected soundboxes, cost-effective instrument clusters, vehicle telematics, asset and mobility tracking, and secure IoT devices. It combines cellular connectivity, local wireless communications, application processing, and hardware-backed security. Powered by a 32-bit RISC-V processor running at 325 MHz, the module supports RTOS-based application development and gives OEMs a foundation for connected-device designs.

Key features of the P16QS include:

• LTE Cat 1bis connectivity with peak download speeds of 10 Mbps and upload speeds of 5 Mbps
• A 32-bit RISC-V processor operating at 325 MHz with integrated application processing
• Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 for local wireless connectivity
• An integrated secure element and interfaces for NFC, smart cards, and magnetic-stripe readers for payment-oriented designs
• Optional multi-constellation GNSS and optional integrated eSIM, with connectivity and device management through Cavli Hubble
• A compact 40.0 × 30.0 × 2.7 mm LGA package with peripheral and display interfaces

At electronica 2026, the P16QS will be featured in a Point-of-Sale (POS) solution concept, demonstrating how payment peripherals, local processing, secure connectivity, and wireless communications can be integrated into a single module-based design. Cavli will also showcase its other LTE Cat 1bis solutions, including the CQ16 and C16QS modules.

Cortex AI: Connecting Firmware Development Directly to Hardware

Cavli will unveil Cortex AI, an autonomous firmware engineering assistant developed to streamline application development for IoT-enabled solutions. Integrating programming tools, technical resources, and hardware testing into a unified workflow, Cortex AI automates key development stages, including code generation, compilation, flashing, and device boot-up. This streamlines firmware validation, reduces repetitive manual tasks, and helps engineering teams accelerate development cycles. Depending on project complexity and deployment requirements, Cortex AI aims to shorten development cycles traditionally measured in months to weeks.

5G at the Edge: CQM220 RedCap and CQM211 5G NR Router Prototypes

Cavli Wireless offers a comprehensive 5G portfolio spanning 5G RedCap, 5G NR, and automotive-grade modules for industrial, enterprise, and automotive IoT applications. The portfolio addresses mid-tier deployments requiring balanced performance, power efficiency, and cost, alongside bandwidth-intensive applications demanding multi-gigabit connectivity and automotive use cases with stringent manufacturing standards. At electronica 2026, Cavli will showcase router prototypes powered by its CQM220 5G RedCap and CQM211 5G NR modules, available in LGA and M.2 form factors to support diverse integration needs.

CQM220 5G RedCap Module

Built on 3GPP Release 17 and powered by the Qualcomm SDX35 chipset, the CQM220 is designed for efficient 5G connectivity in mid-tier IoT applications. It combines 5G RedCap with LTE Cat 4 fallback, integrated processing, dual-band GNSS and OpenWrt support, making it suitable for industrial gateways, smart infrastructure, healthcare devices and connected logistics systems.

Visitors can see both modules in router prototypes and explore how their respective performance capabilities and interfaces align with different device architectures and application requirements.

Cavli Hubble: Visibility and Control Beyond Deployment

Cavli Hubble, Cavli Wireless' unified IoT connectivity and device management platform, will be demonstrated live. The cloud-based environment brings together global cellular connectivity, eSIM lifecycle management, device monitoring, remote diagnostics and firmware management.

The demonstration will feature Hubble Lens for remote AT-command access and diagnostics, FOTA/DFOTA for remote firmware updates, and Hubble Cloud Connect for device-to-cloud data routing. These capabilities help OEMs and enterprises manage distributed IoT fleets, maintain operational visibility and reduce reliance on on-site intervention. Customer devices powered by Cavli modules will also be displayed to highlight real-world IoT applications.

"Building an IoT product should not automatically imply months lost in integrating hardware, connectivity, firmware tools and cloud operations together," said John Mathew, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cavli Wireless

"With the purposefully designed P16QS, Cavli's AI Coding Assistant for hassle-free firmware development, 5G modules and Hubble cloud platform, our goal is to create an effortless connected path from development to deployment."
