U-BLOX LARA-R202-02B

The LARA-R2 series comprises LTE Cat 1 / 3G / 2G multi-mode modules in the very small LARA LGA form-factor (26.0×24.0 mm, 100-pin) that are easy to integrate in compact designs. LARA-R2 series modules support multi-band LTE-FDD Cat 1 radio access technology with seven regional variants. Each variant is designed for specific regional market requirements to allow development of cost efficient yet feature-rich products. The variants with 2G or 3G fallback provide connectivity in cases where LTE coverage is not yet available. This allows seamless operation during technology transition. LARA modules are form-factor compatible with u-blox SARA, LISA and TOBY cellular module families: this facilitates easy migration from u-blox GSM/GPRS, CDMA, UMTS/HSPA, and other LTE modules, maximizes the investments of customers, simplifies logistics, and enables very short time-to-market. The modules are ideal for applications that are transitioning to LTE from 2G and 3G, due to the long term availability and scalability of LTE networks. With a range of interface options and an integrated IP stack, the modules are designed to support a wide range of data-centric applications. The unique combination of performance and flexibility make these modules ideally suited for medium speed M2M applications, such as smart energy gateways, remote access video cameras, digital signage, telehealth and telematics. LARA-R2 series modules include product versions supporting Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and voice over 3G or 2G (CSFB) for applications that require voice, such as security and surveillance systems. Thanks to the u-blox's CellLocate technology, LARA-R2 series modules offer cost-effective location estimation based on information from surrounding cellular base stations. A positioning solution with CellLocate and a u-blox GNSS module provides redundancy and accuracy that can be beneficial for numerous applications. The temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C allows operation in harsh environments and in very compact designs. LARA-R2 modules are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites, with the highest production standards and the highest quality and reliability. Each module is fully tested and inspected during production. Modules are qualified according to ISO 16750 – for systems installed in vehicles. USB drivers and RIL software for Android are free of charge.
