LTE Cat 1bis IP Cores for Next-Generation Cellular IoT SoC Development

August 26, 2026 -

T2M, a leading global provider of semiconductor IP Cores and technology solutions, today announced the availability of its Cat-1bis IP Core, enabling semiconductor companies and device manufacturers to accelerate the development of highly integrated, cost-effective cellular IoT SoCs for global markets while reducing complexity and technical risk.

As 2G and 3G networks continue to be phased out, product developers require reliable and cost-effective cellular technology that combines broad LTE network availability with practical data rates, low implementation cost and reduced system complexity. LTE Cat-1bis addresses this requirement through a single-receive-antenna architecture while supporting data rates suitable for a wide range of IoT applications.

T2M’s LTE Cat 1bis IP Core helps semiconductor companies to develop cost-effective, differentiated cellular IoT chipsets with flexible IP licensing, customisation, and integration support.

  • Compliance with 3GPP LTE CAT-Bis standard
  • Single-antenna, cost-optimised cellular IoT
  • Up to 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink
  • Modem, protocol software and RF integration support
  • Designed for telematics, tracking, metering, payment and industrial IoT
  • Smart-city and building-automation products.

T2M supports customers throughout the complete development cycle, including architecture definition, IP licensing, integration, verification, software enablement, certification preparation and production support.
