Smallest quad-band LTE Cat M1 module, for IoT and M2M
The 16 x 26 mm form factor enables designers to keep device sizes to a minimum and is the same as u-blox’ existing 2G and 3G modules. Designs can migrate from earlier modules to take advantage of LTE Cat M1, without changing their circuit board designs, and using a single hardware version globally. Depending on the installed software, and with quad-band support, this device reaches all of North America to include not only the USA and Canada but also Mexico (B2/B4/B5/B12), or can also service markets in South America, Australia and New Zealand (B3/B5/B8/B28).
Operators and customers can deliver future firmware updates over-the-air with u-blox’s uFOTA client/server solution that uses LWM2M, a light and compact protocol that is ideal for IoT applications. This will enable them to continue using the same hardware for new band configurations, operator certifications, features and functionalities, which can be added to the module over time.
The module has power-save mode (PSM) and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) that together enable battery life of up to 10 years. Manufacturing in ISO/TS 16949 certified production sites and an extended operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C suits the product for industrial applications. It has extended range with maximum coupling loss (MCL) of 155.7 dB is 15 dB better than GSM or LTE Cat 1.
