u-blox has announced two additions to its cellular LTE Cat 1 portfolio. The u-blox LARA-R6 is the smallest LTE Cat 1 module with global coverage on the market. The u-blox LENA-R8 includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver based on the u-blox M10 platform. Together, the modules comprise five certified global, multi-regional, and regional product variants, simplifying logistics for product developers and increasing design flexibility.

The modules offer device makers facing imminent 2G and 3G network sunsets a future-proof migration path to 4G technology for data streaming applications. Additionally they offer MQTT Anywhere and MQTT Flex connectivity via u-blox’s Thingstream platform out of the box, thereby enabling low-power, low-cost connectivity with globally ubiquitous, seamless roaming.

All variants of the LARA-R6 and LENA-R8 family support CellLocate, u-blox’s cellular network-based location service, for coarse positioning data even in the absence of GNSS signals.

Engineering samples will be available in February.
