Gateworks Introduces End-Device-Certified GW16162 Cellular Modem Family Powered by Telit Cinterion's CMB100

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gateworks announced the GW16162, a rugged, end-device-certified family of cellular modems for industrial edge applications. By integrating Telit Cinterion's pre-certified CMB100 module, the GW16162 design bypasses additional RF testing and carrier approvals, reducing both time and cost.

Certification and Network Support For Faster Deployment
The GW16162 incorporates the pre-certified Telit Cinterion CMB100 module and is approved for use on leading U.S. networks, including Verizon and AT&T, with FCC, IC and PTCRB end-device compliance. This allows teams to drastically reduce certification steps, development cycles and project risk. This makes the GW16162 ideal for OEMs and system integrators building connected solutions for smart factories, energy infrastructure or transportation systems.

Interfaces, Form Factor, and Platform Integration
The modem is delivered in a standard M.2 3042 B-Key form factor for integration with single board computers such as Gateworks single board computers based on NXP Semiconductors' i.MX processors. Operating temperature is rated from –40 °C to +85 °C. Units are designed and manufactured in San Luis Obispo, California, under Gateworks' AS9100D / ISO 9001 quality system.

Linux support includes common drivers and tools such as cdc_ether, option, AT/QMI/PPP, uqmi, ModemManager and picocom, enabling command-line configuration and fleet automation.
