Cavli Wireless unveils P16QS module and Cortex AI at electronica 2026

P16QS combines cellular, processing and security

The P16QS is a compact LTE Cat 1bis module designed for connected applications including payment terminals, connected soundboxes, low-cost instrument clusters, vehicle telematics, asset and mobility tracking, and secure IoT devices.

According to Cavli Wireless, the system-on-module combines cellular connectivity, local wireless communication, application processing and hardware-assisted security. It is powered by a 32-bit RISC-V processor clocked at 325 MHz and supports the development of RTOS-based applications.

Its features include LTE Cat 1bis connectivity with maximum download speeds of 10 Mbit/s and upload speeds of 5 Mbit/s, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4, an integrated security element, and interfaces for NFC, smartcards and magnetic stripe readers. Optional features include multi-constellation GNSS and an integrated eSIM with connectivity and device management through Cavli Hubble. The module uses a 40.0 × 30.0 × 2.7 mm LGA package.

At electronica, Cavli will show the P16QS in a point-of-sale concept that combines payment peripherals, local processing, secure connectivity and wireless communication in one modular design. The company will also present its CQ16 and C16QS LTE Cat 1bis modules.

Cortex AI links firmware tools with hardware testing

Cavli will introduce Cortex AI, an autonomous firmware development assistant intended to streamline application development for IoT-enabled products. The system brings programming tools, technical resources and hardware testing into a single workflow.

According to the company, Cortex AI automates stages including code generation, compilation, flashing and device startup. Cavli says this can simplify firmware validation, reduce repetitive manual work and help development teams accelerate their development cycles.

Depending on project complexity and deployment requirements, the assistant aims to reduce development cycles traditionally measured in months to weeks. The company is presenting the tool as part of a broader effort to connect cellular hardware, connectivity, cloud-based device management and AI-supported firmware development.

5G prototypes target different edge applications

Cavli will display router prototypes built with its CQM220 5G RedCap and CQM211 5G NR modules. Both modules are available in LGA and M.2 form factors, allowing them to support different integration requirements.

The CQM220 is based on 3GPP Release 17 and the Qualcomm SDX35 chipset. It combines 5G RedCap with LTE Cat 4 fallback, integrated processing, dual-band GNSS and OpenWrt support. Cavli positions it for industrial gateways, smart infrastructure, medical equipment and connected logistics systems. The module supports maximum 5G RedCap download and upload speeds of 220 Mbit/s and 120 Mbit/s.

The CQM211 is based on 3GPP Release 16 and uses the Qualcomm SDX61 chipset. It supports multi-gigabit connectivity, LTE Cat 16 fallback, carrier aggregation and Yocto Linux. Cavli lists industrial routers, broadband gateways, smart surveillance systems and high-performance edge-computing devices among its target applications. Its peak download speeds are up to 2.5 Gbit/s in NSA mode and 1.5 Gbit/s in SA mode.

Hubble provides management after deployment

The company will also demonstrate Cavli Hubble, its cloud-based IoT connectivity and device management environment. The platform combines global cellular connectivity, eSIM lifecycle management, device monitoring, remote diagnostics and firmware management.

The demonstration will include Hubble Lens for remote AT command access and diagnostics, FOTA and DFOTA for remote firmware updates, and Hubble Cloud Connect for routing data between devices and the cloud. Cavli says these capabilities help OEMs and enterprises manage distributed IoT fleets, maintain operational visibility and reduce reliance on on-site visits.

Visitors can find Cavli Wireless in Hall C2, booth 628. The company will also display customer devices equipped with Cavli modules and provide printed or digital copies of the first edition of its Cavli360 IoT magazine.
