u-blox LARA-L6 Single/Multi-Mode LTE CAT 4 Modules

u-blox LARA-L6 Single/Multi-Mode LTE CAT 4 Modules, with data rates up to 150Mbit/s in downlink and 50Mbit/s in the uplink, provide global and multi-regional coverage in a tiny form factor. The u-blox LARA-L6 reduces logistics complexity and increases design flexibility. Two product variants provide flexibility for band use and access technology by region and include all relevant MNO certifications. The modules feature secure boot and secure updates. Security is regularly updated via maintenance releases to keep the LARA-L6 devices running and protected from attacks. The LARA-L6 Single/Multi-Mode LTE CAT 4 Modules offer versatile interfaces, features, and multi-band/multi-mode capabilities and are compatible with LARA-R6 (LTE Cat 1).

The LARA-L6004D variant features global coverage and provides universal connectivity with 18 LTE bands plus 3G/2G fallback. The LARA-L6404D provides an ideal LTE Cat 4 solution for North America, with support for all relevant LTE bands, and is designed for use on AT&T, Verizon, FirstNet, or T-Mobile. The modules maximize return on development efforts and ease migration between variants, depending on application needs and regional targets.

These 24.0mm x 26.0mm x 2.6mm, 100-pin LGA packaged devices are ideal for a wide range of applications requiring high data speed, seamless connectivity, superior coverage, low latency, and streaming data. Applications include industrial gateways, routers, alarm panels, video surveillance, telematics, fleet management, connected health, and point-of-sale terminals.
