Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MTC-MNA1-B03 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
• Function: Both are RF modems for general-purpose applications
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc.

The primary difference is interface configuration: the MTC-MAT1-B03 provides dual RS-232 and USB connectivity, while the MTC-MNA1-B03 provides USB-only interface. The MTC-MNA1-B03 represents an active product within the MultiConnect® Cell 100 series, offering continued manufacturer support and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTC-MNA1-B03 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MTC-MAT1-B03. Selection of the MTC-MNA1-B03 is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The MTC-MNA1-B03 maintains active status with Multi-Tech Systems Inc., ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support
• Regulatory Compliance: The MTC-MNA1-B03 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: Identical LTE protocol support, frequency band coverage, and data rate specifications ensure equivalent RF performance
• Interface Consideration: Applications requiring RS-232 connectivity must evaluate alternative solutions or implement USB-to-RS-232 conversion interfaces

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MTC-MNA1-B03 directly replace the MTC-MAT1-B03 in all applications?

A: The MTC-MNA1-B03 provides functional equivalence for LTE connectivity. However, applications dependent on RS-232 interface must address this interface difference through external conversion or system redesign.

Q: What is the voltage supply difference between these parts?

A: The MTC-MAT1-B03 accepts 5V to 32V input, while the MTC-MNA1-B03 operates at 5V only. System power supply designs must be verified for compatibility with the 5V requirement.

Q: Are the frequency bands identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the MTC-MAT1-B03 and MTC-MNA1-B03 operate across 700MHz, 1.7GHz, and 1.9GHz frequency bands with identical coverage.

Q: What is the data rate specification for both modems?

A: Both parts support a maximum data rate of 300kbps over LTE connectivity.

Q: Why is the MTC-MAT1-B03 listed as obsolete?

A: The MTC-MAT1-B03 has reached end-of-life status with Multi-Tech Systems Inc. The MTC-MNA1-B03 represents the active product line continuation within the MultiConnect® Cell series.

Q: Does the MTC-MNA1-B03 meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The MTC-MNA1-B03 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
