1.1 Overview
The TOBY-R2 series comprises LTE Cat 1 / 3G / 2G multi-mode modules supporting up to five LTE bands, up to
four 3G UMTS/HSPA bands and up to four 2G GSM/(E)GPRS bands for voice and/or data transmission in the
small TOBY LGA form-factor (35.6 x 24.8 mm), easy to integrate in compact designs:
TOBY-R200 are designed for worldwide operation, and primarily in North America (on AT&T network)
TOBY-R202 are designed primarily for operation in North America (on AT&T network)
TOBY-R2 series modules are form-factor compatible with u-blox SARA, LISA and LARA cellular module families
and are pin-to-pin compatible with u-blox TOBY-L cellular module families: this facilitates easy migration from
the u-blox GSM/GPRS, CDMA, UMTS/HSPA, and LTE high data rate modules, maximizes the investments of
customers, simplifies logistics, and enables very short time-to-market.
The modules are ideal for applications that are transitioning to LTE from 2G and 3G, due to the long term
availability and scalability of LTE networks.
With a range of interface options and an integrated IP stack, the modules are designed to support a wide range
of data-centric applications. The unique combination of performance and flexibility make these modules ideally
suited for medium speed M2M applications, such as smart energy gateways, remote access video cameras,
digital signage, telehealth and telematics.
TOBY-R2 series modules support Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and voice service over 3G (CSFB) for applications that
require voice, such as security and surveillance systems.
