The new SARA S200 from u-blox is one of the smallest modules for the Machine Network, based on RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access), a low-power wide area (LPWA) technology.
The Machine Network is a wireless network built by Ingenu, the creators of RPMA technology, exclusively for Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Operating in the globally licence-free 2,4 GHz ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band, RPMA is at the heart of secure wireless networks operating in over 20 countries around the world.
u-blox has successfully ported the proven technology used in its first generation RPMA modules and made it 65% smaller. SARA S200 delivers significant cost and size optimisations ideal for application in the smart meter, smart building, gas and oil, asset/personnel tracking and agricultural industries.
Andreas Thiel, executive vice president and co-founder of u-blox, commented: “Ingenu’s patented RPMA technology offers significant advantages to a great variety of IoT applications, such as excellent in-building range and AES 128-bit security encryption. With autonomous adaptation, the Machine Network delivers interference-free operation and the best performance and reliability in real-world applications. By bringing the SARA S200 to market we can now deliver these outstanding features in the SARA footprint, our most popular form factor.”
Measuring just 16 by 26 by 2,3 mm in a Land Grid Array (LGA) package, SARA S200 provides an easy migration between other u-blox form factors and cellular technologies thanks to nested design. Its low-power design (50 μW average power consumption in sleep mode) means it can operate for 10 years or longer from a single battery.
