What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
It is a genuinely in-production, regionally certified, single-vendor (all-ST silicon) module with excellent sub-2 uA low-power numbers, integrated GNSS and SGP.32 readiness — well-suited to its tracking/metering niche provided the long lead time and NB-IoT bandwidth ceiling are accepted up front.
Next
Order the ST87M01 variant matching the target region (verify FCC/PTCRB/ISED for US/Canada or Anatel for Brazil), prototype the GNSS+NB-IoT duty cycle to validate the sub-2 uA sleep budget against the application, and confirm distributor lead times (~99 weeks observed) before design-in.
