ST87M01-1001 Übersicht
A cellular IoT module is a wireless communication subsystem that connects embedded devices to operator cellular networks. Within the power-management and connectivity hierarchy, NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) sits under the LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) family of 3GPP LTE standards, which in turn belong to the broader categories of wireless transceivers, RF modules, and industrial IoT communication ICs. NB-IoT modules are optimized for low data rates, deep indoor coverage, and multi-year battery life rather than throughput.
Key features of the ST87M01-1001 include comprehensive worldwide band coverage across six LTE FDD bands, ultra-low power consumption of less than 2 uA in low-power mode for multi-year battery operation, and fully programmable architecture allowing customer applications to run on-module. It is a certified LTE Cat NB2 design per the 3GPP release on which it is based, and STMicroelectronics guarantees 15 years of availability, a critical factor for industrial product lifecycles.
Technically, the ST87M01 series integrates the cellular modem with advanced security features and industrial-grade design. The -1001 variant provides NB-IoT connectivity plus an extra ADC, while the -1301 and -2301 variants add GNSS and Wi-Fi positioning for combined cellular-plus-location designs. The industrial operating range of -40 C to +85 C supports harsh deployments such as outdoor metering and cold-chain tracking.
Typical applications include smart utility metering (electricity, gas, water), asset tracking and telematics, smart city infrastructure such as parking and streetlight control, and industrial sensors on NB-IoT networks. The 868.95 MHz reference in listings relates to adjacent sub-GHz positioning options; the cellular path uses the licensed LTE FDD bands listed above.
Design consideration: NB-IoT coverage and SIM/eSIM data plans vary by country and operator, so verify operator NB-IoT support early in the project. Antenna selection and RF layout are also critical because no antenna is included.

Typische Anwendungen
ST87M01-1001 ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Smart Utility Metering, Asset Tracking and Telematics, Smart City Infrastructure, Industrial Sensor Nodes, Smart Agriculture Monitoring, Security and Alarm Systems.
Smart Utility Metering
The ST87M01-1001 fits smart electricity, gas, and water metering because NB-IoT provides deep-indoor penetration and the module's sub-2 uA low-power mode enables multi-year battery life in sealed meters. The six-band LTE FDD coverage (B1, B3, B5, B8, B20, B28) lets one hardware design serve European, Asian, and Australian operators without respins. The -1001 variant's extra ADC supports on-module battery-voltage monitoring or analog sensing inputs, reducing external component count. The -40 C to +85 C industrial range survives outdoor and basement installations. Placed on the meter main board with an external antenna and SIM/eSIM, the module wakes periodically to report consumption over NB-IoT, keeping average current dominated by sleep rather than transmit.

Asset Tracking and Telematics
For NB-IoT asset tracking, the ST87M01-1001 provides low-power cellular reporting for pallets, containers, and equipment where positional fixes are infrequent and cost per unit is critical. Its less-than-2 uA sleep current allows small coin or primary-cell batteries to last for years between shipments, and the +23 dBm transmit power maintains uplink reliability in metal-rich logistics environments. The -40 C to +85 C operating range covers cold-chain and outdoor depots. When standalone positioning is required, designers can pair the tracker MCU with a separate GNSS receiver or migrate to the pin-compatible-family ST87M01-1301/-2301 variants that integrate GNSS and Wi-Fi positioning in the same module family.

Smart City Infrastructure
Smart parking sensors, streetlight controllers, and waste-bin monitors deploy in the thousands, making unit cost, battery life, and long-term supply the deciding factors. The ST87M01-1001 addresses all three: its compact 10.6 mm x 12.8 mm LGA footprint shrinks sensor-node PCBs, sub-2 uA low-power current stretches battery replacement cycles on infrastructure without grid power, and STMicroelectronics guarantees 15 years of availability, matching typical municipal product lifecycles. NB-IoT operator coverage in supported bands (B1/B3/B5/B8/B20/B28) removes the need for private gateways. The fully programmable module can host simple application logic directly, offloading the host controller in cost-sensitive streetlight and parking designs.
Empfohlen
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Industrial condition-monitoring nodes measuring vibration, temperature, or pressure on factory assets benefit from the ST87M01-1001's industrial temperature rating of -40 C to +85 C and integrated security features that protect NB-IoT uplinks. The extra ADC on the -1001 variant accepts analog sensor outputs directly, trimming external signal-chain components in retrofitted monitors. Its fully programmable architecture allows pre-processing or threshold logic on-module, reducing host-MCU load. Because NB-IoT networks already cover most industrial sites via public operators, deployment avoids gateway installation. The 15-year availability guarantee aligns with multi-decade factory equipment service lives, a frequent blocker for consumer-grade wireless modules.

Smart Agriculture Monitoring
Soil-moisture probes, weather stations, and irrigation controllers spread over wide rural areas rely on NB-IoT's wide-area coverage rather than dense gateway networks. The ST87M01-1001's worldwide band coverage (B1, B3, B5, B8, B20, B28) supports deployment across export markets with a single design, while sub-2 uA low-power current enables solar-charged or long-life battery nodes that report only a few times per day. Band B28 (700 MHz) in particular offers favorable rural propagation. The module's industrial temperature range handles field enclosures, and the extra ADC digitizes analog soil or weather sensors on the -1001 variant, simplifying the node bill of materials.
Empfohlen
Security and Alarm Systems
NB-IoT alarm panels, door sensors, and backup-communication modules use the ST87M01-1001 as a low-standby cellular uplink that stays dormant for months. The under-2 uA low-power draw is essential for battery-backed security devices where alarm reporting is rare but must always be possible, and the +23 dBm transmit power ensures message delivery from basements or metal cabinets. Integrated security features support encrypted operator-network communication required in alarm transport. The six-band coverage lets one design ship globally, and the 15-year availability commitment matches the long service and monitoring contracts typical of the security industry.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale
- Industry-first integration on family siblings (vs. ST87M01-1301)

- 15-year availability guarantee (vs. Generic NB-IoT modules)
Designhinweise
The ST87M01 family draws under 2 uA in low-power mode, but transmit bursts at up to +23 dBm draw peak currents that far exceed battery pulse capability. Size the module supply with a bulk capacitor (datasheet-recommended value) close to the VBAT pins, and verify the battery chemistry can source peak transmit current without voltage sag causing brown-out resets. Estimated: a CR2032 (~220 mAh) is unsuitable for +23 dBm bursts; Li-SOCl2 cells with a hybrid capacitor are the usual choice for metering nodes.
No antenna is included with the ST87M01-1001. Follow the ST87M01 datasheet RF layout guidance: keep the antenna feed short, controlled impedance (50 ohm), with matching-network footprints reserved even if nominal 50-ohm antennas are used. Keep RF pads away from switching regulators and high-speed digital traces. Regulatory certification (cellular operator acceptance) depends on radiated performance, so budget for an RF pre-scan before operator certification.
Verify NB-IoT operator coverage and band plan early: the ST87M01-1001 supports B1, B3, B5, B8, B20, and B28, but service availability and SIM/eSIM data plans vary by country. ST community guidance explicitly recommends checking with operators before committing to NB-IoT for a region. Also confirm firmware AT-command set revision matches your host driver; the ST87M01 is programmable, so plan an update path for on-module application firmware in the field.
Compliance-Informationen
The ST87M01 is a certified LTE Cat NB2 NB-IoT module per STMicroelectronics. RoHS/lead-free status per standard ST industrial module policy; REACH and halogen-free status not stated in provided data.
