IoT Shortcut
Build smarter. Launch faster.

Developing a cellular IoT product from the ground up is a complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive process. It typically requires deep expertise across hardware design, firmware development, cloud infrastructure, connectivity management, and regulatory certification – often taking years and significant investment to reach market readiness. IoT Shortcut brings these elements together in an end-to-end IoT solution, allowing you to focus on your application rather than building the infrastructure.

The IoT Shortcut SoM is developed entirely in-house by LMT’s engineering team and manufactured in the EU (Latvia) under strict quality control. With full ownership of design and production, and over 30 years of experience as a European mobile operator and system integrator, LMT delivers a reliable, pre-certified solution backed by enterprise-grade support – eliminating the complexity of building from scratch.

The IoT Shortcut is engineered for ultra-low-power operation over cellular LPWAN networks (NB-IoT / LTE-M), making it ideal for fully wireless, battery-powered applications. Depending on your specific configuration – such as the carrier board design, sensor types, and data transmission frequency – battery life can reach up to 10 years. For detailed power profiles and optimization guidance, please refer to the datasheet or contact our team directly. We’re here to support your deployment needs.

The IoT Shortcut is designed for straightforward integration into your product architecture. It can be mounted directly onto your PCB using standard SMT reflow processes, making it suitable for both prototyping and large-scale production. For faster development cycles, LMT also offers Evaluation Kit that simplifies testing and deployment. The module supports a wide range of peripherals and interfaces, allowing you to tailor your solution to your specific application – whether you’re building environmental monitors, industrial devices, or connected infrastructure. We are ready to provide an Evaluation Kit to support your prototyping and development efforts. Alongside the hardware, our team is here to assist you throughout the integration process – ensuring a smooth path from concept to deployment.

The IoT Shortcut SoM supports LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity with global coverage, powered by Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 modem. Designed for international deployment, the module comes pre-certified, including regulatory approvals for major markets – significantly reducing time-to-market and simplifying compliance. For full band support and certification details, our team is available to assist. Looking ahead, upcoming versions will introduce NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) connectivity, enabling satellite-based communication for even broader coverage and deployment flexibility.

An evaluation (demo) kit is a ready-to-use package that lets you test the end-to-end IoT connectivity solution before building your own product. It includes preconfigured hardware, firmware, connectivity, and access to the cloud portal and mobile app, so you can explore key features without any setup or integration work.

With the kit, you can:

• See how devices connect to the LMT cellular network
• Test data transmission, configuration, and remote management
• Evaluate device behavior, dashboards, alerts, and APIs
• Understand how the full LMT IoT Shortcut solution fits your use case

It’s the fastest way to validate functionality, experiment with prototypes, and decide how to integrate the IoT Shortcut stack into your own product.
