Module brings Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Matter to embedded designs
The IRIS-W1 module from u-blox lets IoT devices connect over Wi-Fi an Bluetooth while supporting Thread and Matter protocols.
eSIM LTE module eliminates additional hardware
The u-blox SARA-R500E embedded eSIM lets IoT devices connect to cellular networks without the need for a separate SIM card and supporting hardware, thus saving board space.
Wireless modules support two or three radios
The MAYA-W2 series from u-blox provide wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 radios.
Power consumption for IoT modules: Protocols matter
Time equals power when transmitting data to and from NB-IoT and LTE-M devices. How you use communication protocols can affect power use.
LTE Cat 1 modules target worldwide IoT connectivity
The LENA-R8 and LARA-R6 modules from u-blox connect devices to LTE networks, helping to minimize the impact of 2G and 3G shutdowns.
Cellular IoT module covers low-band LTE
IoT devices with low data rates can use LTE bands around 450 MHz to get long range even when installed inside buildings with the u-Blox SARA-R540S module.
