Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MTC-MNA1-B01 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Modulation Protocol: Both parts operate on LTE technology
• Frequency Bands: Identical coverage across 700MHz, 1.7GHz, and 1.9GHz
• Data Rate: Both support maximum 300kbps throughput
• Primary Interface: Both provide RS-232 connectivity for serial communication
• Function: Both serve as RF modems for general-purpose cellular applications
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc.

The MTC-MNA1-B01 represents an active product within the MultiConnect® Cell 100 series, providing functional continuity for applications currently deployed with the obsolete MTC-MAT1-B01.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTC-MNA1-B01 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MTC-MAT1-B01. Selection of the MTC-MNA1-B01 is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The MTC-MNA1-B01 maintains active manufacturing and support status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: The MTC-MNA1-B01 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: Identical LTE protocol support, frequency band coverage, and maximum data rate specifications ensure direct functional replacement
• Supply Availability: Current inventory of 1063 units confirms active stock availability

Note the voltage supply range difference: the MTC-MNA1-B01 operates from 7V minimum (versus 5V for the MTC-MAT1-B01). System designs must verify that power supply specifications accommodate this 7V minimum requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MTC-MNA1-B01 directly replace the MTC-MAT1-B01 in existing designs?

A: The MTC-MNA1-B01 provides functional equivalence for LTE connectivity, frequency band coverage, and data rate specifications. However, the minimum supply voltage increases from 5V to 7V. Designs operating at voltages below 7V require power supply modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two modem models?

A: The MTC-MAT1-B01 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The MTC-MNA1-B01 is the active equivalent, belonging to the MultiConnect® Cell 100 series with updated regulatory compliance (ROHS3) and improved moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: Are the RS-232 and USB interfaces both available on the MTC-MNA1-B01?

A: The MTC-MNA1-B01 provides RS-232 interface. The original MTC-MAT1-B01 supported both RS-232 and USB. Applications requiring USB connectivity must evaluate alternative solutions or interface adapters.

Q: What certifications apply to the MTC-MNA1-B01?

A: The MTC-MNA1-B01 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carries ECCN classification 5A992C.
