Offering 4G download speeds 5-7 times faster than its 3G counterpart, the TOBY-L1 is suitable for high-speed, bandwidth-hungry M2M applications such as digital signage, mobile health, traffic management and security system applications.
Two versions are currently available: TOBY-L100 for the USA (bands 4, 13 on Verizon), and TOBY-L110 for Europe (bands 3, 7, 20 for EU operators). Housed in a compact 152-pin LGA module, the TOBY-L1 series is layout compatible with u-blox’ SARA GSM and LISA UMTS/CDMA module series to facilitate easy product migration as well as low-cost regional adaptation of end devices.
The new series delivers ultra-fast data rates (LTE Cat. 3; 100 Mb/s download, 50 Mb/s upload) and operates from –40 to +85°C. USB drivers for Windows XP and 7 plus RIL software for Android 4.0 and 4.2 are available free of charge.
Modules measure just 24.8 x 35.6 x 2.6mm, allowing for easy mounting on any application board. Firmware update over the air (FOTA) completes the package.
