Certification and KT Network Approval

LE270-KR has obtained KC certification, South Korea’s mandatory product certification,
and received network approval from Korean operator KT. Now in mass production, the
module has been successfully adopted in a smart meter project in South Korea, marking
another step in Fibocom’s continued expansion of its global IoT connectivity capabilities.

Built on the Eigencomm EC718P_M chipset platform, LE270-KR targets IoT applications
with low to medium data rate requirements. Its low power consumption, compact design,
and LTE Cat.1 bis capabilities address the reliable connectivity needs of devices
designed for long-term operation, including smart meters.

**Advancing Smart Metering Connectivity for Long-Term Operation**

As smart grids and digital infrastructure continue to develop, smart meters and
