u-blox rolled out a new line of ultra-compact LTE modules in the form of the TOBY-L1 series. TOBY-L100 and the European variant TOBY-L110 are ideally suited for tablets, mobile routers and set-top boxes, as well as high-speed M2M applications such as digital signage, mobile health and security systems.
LTE-only offers cost advantages compared to multi-mode modules, making TOBY-L1 optimal for applications in networks with advanced LTE deployment. Housed in a compact 152-pin LGA package, the module 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.
TOBY-L1 delivers ultra-fast data rates (LTE Cat. 3; 100 Mbps download, 50 MBps upload) and operates from -40°C to +85°C. USB drivers for Windows XP and 7, as well as RIL software for Android 4.0 and 4.2, are available free of charge. The product is based on u-blox’ own LTE protocol stack which has been successfully proven by several early product deployments in many networks.
The modules measure only 24,8 x 35,6 x 2,8 mm, allowing for easy mounting on any application board. They support USB 2.0 and firmware update over the air (FOTA).
