ST87M01-2001 概述
An NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) module is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) cellular transceiver that operates within licensed spectrum on LTE Category NB2. Within the wireless connectivity hierarchy, NB-IoT modules sit alongside LTE-M and LoRa devices as long-range, low-throughput radios optimized for battery-powered telemetry, smart metering, and asset tracking. The ST87M01 family is positioned as a certified industrial-grade option with multi-band worldwide coverage.
Key features of the ST87M01 series include LTE Cat NB2 operation, comprehensive worldwide band coverage, advanced security features, ultra-low power consumption for battery-operated designs, and an ultra-compact surface-mount form factor. According to STMicroelectronics, the family is fully programmable, and ST guarantees 15 years of availability, a critical commitment for industrial product lifecycles.
The module integrates the cellular protocol stack in firmware (maintained via the STSW-ST87M01 firmware bundle) and connects to host systems over serial interfaces, with support for both classic SIM cards and externally connected eSIM. The family is programmable, enabling application-level processing on-module rather than on a separate host MCU in some designs.
Typical applications include smart utility metering, asset tracking, industrial telemetry, smart city infrastructure, and battery-powered IoT sensor nodes deployed on North American NB-IoT networks. The -2001 variant is the right choice where cellular connectivity alone suffices.
Design considerations include verifying operator NB-IoT coverage and SIM data plans for the deployment region, providing an adequate power supply for RF transmit bursts, and following the STDES-ST87M01IGN reference design for antenna and layout guidance.

典型应用
ST87M01-2001 适用于 6 应用s: Smart Utility Metering, Asset Tracking, Industrial Telemetry and SCADA, Smart City Infrastructure, Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Nodes, Security and Alarm Systems.
Smart Utility Metering
Water, gas, and electricity meters are the classic NB-IoT deployment: devices sit in basements and buried vaults where 2G/4G coverage is poor, run for 10+ years on a single battery, and upload only a few hundred bytes per day. The ST87M01-2001 fits this profile with its LTE Cat NB2 radio optimized for deep indoor penetration and ultra-low power consumption, plus an industrial-grade qualification level and a 15-year availability commitment from STMicroelectronics that matches meter service lifetimes. The -2001 variant omits positioning to reduce cost, which is acceptable for fixed meters. Use the STDES-ST87M01IGN reference design for the power tree, and budget the supply for RF transmit bursts of hundreds of milliamps while relying on PSM for multi-year battery life.
推荐
Asset Tracking
For pallets, containers, and fleet assets in North America, the ST87M01-2001 provides the NB-IoT uplink while location can be derived from cell triangulation; when precise GNSS positioning is mandatory, the pin-compatible family sibling ST87M01-2301 adds GNSS and Wi-Fi positioning in the same footprint, allowing a single PCB design to serve both product tiers. NB-IoT's narrowband signaling gives good coverage in urban canyons and inside vehicles where conventional cellular struggles. Designs should transmit position reports at intervals of minutes rather than seconds, since NB-IoT Cat NB2 is not optimized for high-frequency telemetry. Power the module from a rail capable of supplying transmit burst currents, and use eDRX scheduling to balance report latency against battery life in multi-year deployments.
推荐
Industrial Telemetry and SCADA
Remote pumps, valves, tanks, and environmental sensors in factories and utilities need periodic status reporting over wide areas without wired backhaul. The ST87M01-2001 serves as the WAN endpoint for such nodes: its LTE Cat NB2 radio provides licensed-spectrum reliability with operator-grade security features, and the module is fully programmable so simple acquisition logic can run on-module, reducing host MCU cost. The industrial temperature and qualification targets of the ST87M01 series suit factory-floor and outdoor cabinets. Integrate the module using the EVKITST87M01-1 X-NUCLEO shield for fast prototyping with STM32 Nucleo hosts, then migrate to the STDES-ST87M01IGN 2-layer reference design. Verify operator NB-IoT coverage and SIM data plans for each installation site during rollout planning.
推荐
Smart City Infrastructure
Streetlight controllers, parking sensors, waste-bin fill monitors, and air-quality stations are deployed across entire cities on municipal NB-IoT networks. The ST87M01-2001 provides the North American certified cellular link in an ultra-compact surface-mount module, keeping node PCBs small enough for pole-mounted and luminaire-enclosed electronics. The family's advanced security features help satisfy municipal procurement requirements for authenticated device-to-cloud communication, and the 15-year availability guarantee aligns with multi-decade city infrastructure contracts. The NB-IoT-only -2001 variant suits fixed infrastructure where location is known, keeping the BOM minimal. Design the antenna feed per the ST reference design and confirm that the deployment region's operator offers NB-IoT roaming or dedicated municipal SIM plans before volume production.
推荐
Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Nodes
Standalone sensors for cold chains, agriculture, and building condition monitoring benefit from the ST87M01-2001's ultra-low-power design philosophy: NB-IoT PSM and eDRX modes allow the radio to sleep for hours between brief transmit windows, while the module's compact footprint leaves board area for the battery and sensors. The -2001's omission of GNSS reduces both cost and quiescent consumption versus the positioning-capable variants, extending battery life in fixed installations. Size the power supply for worst-case RF burst currents documented in the datasheet, and select an external eSIM (supported by the module) to simplify logistics across large sensor fleets. Prototype on the EVKITST87M01-1 board, which connects to a PC or an associated host board for full protocol bring-up.
推荐
Security and Alarm Systems
Intrusion panels, gateways, and emergency call points in North America increasingly require a cellular backup path that works even when wired networks fail. The ST87M01-2001 delivers an NB-IoT link with licensed-spectrum reliability and ST's advanced security features for authenticated alarm reporting. Because NB-IoT penetrates building interiors better than higher-bandwidth cellular categories, it suits panels installed in metal cabinets or basements. The module's compact form factor integrates into existing alarm PCBs without major redesign, and its fully programmable architecture allows alarm protocol handling on-module for simple panels. Design the power architecture so the module can transmit even on backup battery, observing transmit burst current requirements from the datasheet, and validate alarm latency against your monitoring station's NB-IoT message delivery expectations.

设计说明
NB-IoT uplink transmissions occur in bursts that draw significantly more current than average consumption, so the ST87M01-2001 supply rail must handle transient RF burst currents without drooping. Place a bulk capacitor (typically tens to hundreds of microfarads, per the manufacturer reference design) near the module supply pin in addition to local ceramic decoupling. Size the battery or DC-DC converter for peak, not average, load. For battery-powered nodes, exploit PSM/eDRX scheduling in firmware (STSW-ST87M01) to keep the radio asleep between reports.
Follow the STDES-ST87M01IGN reference design (2-layer FR4, 90 mm x 60 mm, 1.6 mm) as the starting point for antenna matching, module keep-out zones, and SIM routing. Keep the RF feed line short with controlled impedance, and respect the module ground return paths. For prototyping, use the EVKITST87M01-1 X-NUCLEO shield, which exposes the module through Arduino-compatible connectors, before committing to a custom layout. Verify antenna placement with a field trial on the target operator network since NB-IoT performance is coverage-dependent.
Do not assume NB-IoT coverage exists at every deployment site: ST community guidance explicitly recommends checking with operators whether they offer NB-IoT coverage in the target country and choosing a SIM with a suitable data plan. Also confirm the regional variant ordering code - the ST87M01-2001 is the USA/Canada NB-IoT-only part; using a non-certified variant in a regulated market creates compliance risk. Finally, remember the -2001 has no GNSS: if positioning requirements appear later, the same-footprint -2301 avoids a PCB respin.
