The SARA-R4/N4 series of modules from u-blox are compact LTE Cat M1/NB1 and EGPRS modules that can be used Globally. A single module supports up to 16 LTE bands making it a great solution for Global coverage. It has flexible mode selection for LTE Cat M1, LTE Cat NB1 and EGPRS.
The modules also have notable software-based configuration advantages within a single version of firmware. LTE bands can be enabled or disabled based on changing criteria such as the establishment of roaming agreements among operators. The flexibility extends further through system selection of the radio access technology (RAT) as either a single or preferred connection. The approved operator profiles for AT&T, Verizon, and Telstra are all included as pre-existing and selectable within the software. The module has regulatory certification approvals in Taiwan (NCC) and EMEA (RED) broadening the global commercial reach.
The modules have a long life, low-maintenance, cost-sensitive, lower-power consumption, and can be used in extended battery life applications such as smart buildings, people and asset tracking, agricultural monitoring, connected health, usage-based insurance, smart cities and smart meters.
