2. General Product Description

2.1. Overview

LE940B6 is Telit’s platform for automotive telematics on-board units (OBU's) for applications,

such as automotive telematics and eCall, based on the following technologies:

• 4G cellular for voice and data communication

• GNSS (optional) - GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, for positioning service

• Embedded security

• Designed for automotive markets

quality needs

In its most basic use case, LE940B6 can be applied as a wireless communication front-end for

telematics products, offering GNSS and mobile communication features to an external host CPU

through its rich interfaces.

LE940B6 can further support customer software applications and security features. LE940B6 is

based on a Yocto Linux system running on an application processor. Thanks to a dedicated

application processor and embedded security resources, product developers and manufacturers

can create products that guarantee fraud prevention and tamper evidence without extra effort

for additional security precautions.

LE940B6 can be self-sufficient and serve as a fully integrated solution for applications, such as

location-based cellular telematics, navigation, road pricing and eCall. In such a case, the customer

would simply complement the module with a power supply, speaker amplifier, microphone,

antennas, and an HMI (if applicable).

LE940B6 is offered with different regional variants according to the list in Table 1: Applicability

Table.

2.2. Applications

LE940B6 can be used for telematics applications where tamper-resistance, confidentiality,

integrity, and authenticity of end-user information are required, for example:

• Emergency call

• Telematics services

• Road pricing

• Pay-as-you-drive insurance

• Stolen vehicles tracking

• Internet connectivity

In accordance with Telit’s Robustness Validation, using AEC-Q100-defined qualification tests
