MTSMC-L4G1-SP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTSMC-L4G1-SP is a cellular 4G LTE CAT-4 transceiver module manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc., designed for AT&T and Verizon networks. This RF TXRX module operates across multiple frequency bands (700MHz through 2.6GHz) and features a U.FL connector with through-hole mounting. The module supports serial interfaces and delivers 150Mbps data rate capability with dual-mode current consumption of 46mA for both receiving and transmitting operations.

The MTSMC-L4G1-SP carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing system deployments where this module is integrated.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MTSMC-L4G1-SP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

RF and Protocol Compatibility: The substitute part must support the identical 4G LTE CAT-4 protocol with AT&T and Verizon network compatibility. All frequency bands (700MHz through 2.6GHz) must be supported without exception.

Electrical Specifications: Supply voltage range (3.3V ~ 5V), current consumption during receive and transmit modes (46mA each), and data rate (150Mbps) must match exactly.

Physical and Interface Requirements: The antenna connector type (U.FL), mounting method (through hole), and module package form factor must be identical. Serial interface support is mandatory.

Operating Conditions: The operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) must be maintained.

Manufacturer and Series: The substitute part must originate from Multi-Tech Systems Inc. and belong to the SocketModem® Cell series to ensure firmware compatibility and design integration.

The MTSMC-L4G1.R1A-SP meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent with active product status.
