u-blox LARA-L6 LTE Cat 4 cellular module

The u-blox LARA-L6 LTE Cat 4 cellular module, offering truly global coverage and 2G/3G fallback, combines high data throughput and native support for external u‑blox GNSS receivers with a full set of security features. Delivering download data rates of 150 Mbps and upload data rates of 50 Mbps, it is suitable for demanding size-constrained applications such video surveillance, dashcams, high-end telematics, gateways and routers, and e-health devices.

Measuring only 24 x 26 x 2.6 mm, the module is available in two variants: the global LARA-L6004 variant and the North American LARA-L6404 variant. It is pin/pad compatible with all the u-blox LARA and SARA form factors, giving users the flexibility to design a single PCB able to support different technologies with minimum hardware and software development effort. It comes with the most relevant regulatory and MNO certifications, simplifying logistic management for worldwide deployment.

The product supports a comprehensive set of security features, including a root of trust, secure boot and secure updates. There are regular maintenance releases so that security remains up to date, keeping end devices running and protecting them from attacks. The module supports u-blox’s IoT security-as-a-service offering, which includes design security, end-to-end security and access control services, all available from the Thingstream service delivery platform.

To streamline the development of IoT solutions that require satellite-based positioning, such as tracking and telematics devices, the module is designed to integrate seamlessly with u-blox GNSS receivers. Bundling the module with the receivers is simplified due to native support for GNSS AT commands used to manage u-blox positioning modules and chipsets.
