The ST87M01-1301 NB-IoT wireless module from ST provides narrowband cellular connectivity along with both GNSS and Wi-Fi–based positioning for outdoor and indoor geolocation. Its integrated GNSS receiver enables precise location tracking using GPS constellations, while the Wi-Fi positioning engine delivers fast, low-power indoor location services by scanning nearby 802.11b access points and leveraging third-party geocoding providers.
As the latest member of the ST87M01 series of NB-IoT (LTE Cat NB2) industrial modules, this variant supports multi-frequency bands with extended multi-regional coverage. Its compact, low-power design makes it well suited for smart IoT applications such as asset tracking, environmental monitoring, smart metering, and remote healthcare. A 10.6×12.8-mm, 51-pin LGA package further enables miniaturization in space-constrained designs.
ST provides an evaluation kit that includes a ready-to-use Conexa IoT SIM card and two SMA antennas, helping developers quickly prototype and validate NB-IoT connectivity in real-world conditions. This is supported by an expanding ecosystem featuring the Easy-Connect software library and design examples.
