I am looking to purchase telit fn990a28 components but saw that there were two variations, the FN990A28W02T020100 and FN990A28W05T050100. Is there a notable difference between the two models or are they the same but part of different batches?
I will see if the supplier can share the differences. It might take a few days to get an update on this.
Here’s the response from the supplier -
Please see the difference below in the two FN990A28 part numbers. However, please note that both of these part numbers have been announced as EOL due to RED Cybersecurity compliant firmware release (45.00.xx6).
FN990A28W02T020100 = FN990A28 (HW 1.00) with M0R.000002/45.00.002 firmware package, NRND when M0R.000003/45.00.003 FW was released
FN990A28W05T050100 = FN990A28 (HW 1.00) with M0R.100005/45.00.105 firmware package, EOL due to new RED DA complaint FW release
FN990A28W06T060100 = FN990A28 (HW 1.00) with M0R.100006/45.00.106 firmware package
I have also attached the Delta Release Notes between 45.00.xx2 to 45.00.xx3 and 45.00.xx3 to 45.00.xx5. The Delta RN document for 45.00.xx6 is not ready yet
