Why Choose the ABB INS-LTE 4G LTE Connectivity Module?
The ABB INS-LTE is a compact 4G LTE connectivity module designed to extend the communication capabilities of the ABB InSite energy-management system. Installed alongside a compatible SCU200 or SCU200-W control unit, it provides cellular connectivity for remote energy-management applications where a conventional wired network connection may not be available or preferred.
The module communicates using LTE/4G and accepts a Micro SIM (3FF). It supports LTE-FDD frequency bands B1, B3, B5, B7, B8 and B20 for European deployments and is designed to connect ABB InSite installations to services such as ABB Ability InSite Energy Pro through cellular networks.
Powered directly through the InSite modular bus at 24 V DC, the INS-LTE requires no separate module-level power connection when incorporated into a correctly configured system. Its compact 17.5 mm DIN-rail format, external antenna connection and direct integration with the SCU200 architecture make it a practical communications upgrade. ABB order code 2CMA268125R1000 identifies this dedicated InSite LTE module.

Cellular Connectivity for ABB InSite Energy Management
The INS-LTE enables compatible ABB InSite installations to communicate over cellular networks, providing an alternative communications path where fixed Ethernet infrastructure is unavailable or impractical. This can support remote monitoring of energy data and connected assets across commercial, industrial and distributed electrical installations.
Direct integration with the SCU200 architecture keeps the solution compact and modular. The module receives power through the InSite modular bus, provides clear LED status indication and uses an external antenna for cellular communication, allowing the communications hardware to be incorporated efficiently into the wider InSite system.
