u-blox SARA-R4 LTE Cat M1 module series

The u-blox SARA-R4 LTE Cat M1 module series allows a larger number of devices to connect to the Internet of Things (IoT).

The product is part of the 3GPP Release 13 standard supporting low power wide area (LPWA) technologies in the licensed spectrum. It is designed for IoT applications with low to medium data throughput rates, as well as devices that require long battery lifetimes.

Additionally, the product’s vehicular handover capability delivers the technology necessary to support vehicle, asset and people tracking. It also supports lower latency applications and a data rate of 375 Kbps in half duplex mode and 1 MBps in full duplex mode.

The product is suitable for the smart home, security systems, industrial monitoring and control, asset tracking, telematics, connected health, smart metering, smart cities and wearables.

The module allows users to easily upgrade their products with each generation, without having to change their PCB designs. Such easy migration maximises investment return, simplifies logistics and drastically reduces time to market.
