SARA-R4/N4 series - System Integration Manual
UBX-16029218 - R13 Approvals Page 98 of 119
The SARA-R4/N4 series modules from “02” product versions onwards include the capability to configure the device by
selecting the operating Mobile Network Operator Profile, Radio Access Technology, and bands. In the SARA-R4/N4 series
AT Commands Manual [2], see the +UMNOPROF, +URAT, and +UBANDMASK AT commands.
As these configuration decisions are made, u-blox reminds manufacturers of the end-device integrating the “02” product
versions onwards of SARA-R4/N4 series modules to take care of compliance with all the certification approvals
requirements applicable to the specific integrating device to be deployed in the market.
It is strongly recommended to configure the module to the applicable MNO profile, RAT, and LTE bands intended for
the application device and within regulatory compliance. The SARA-R4/N4 series “02” product versions are not
intended be used in the factory-programmed setting.
The certification of the application device that integrates a SARA-R4/N4 series module and the compliance of the
application device with all the applicable certification schemes, directives and standards are the sole responsibility
of the application device manufacturer.
SARA-R4/N4 series modules are certified according to all capabilities and options stated in the Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement document (PICS) of the module. The PICS, according to the 3GPP TS 51.010-2 [12], 3GPP TS
36.521-2 [14] and 3GPP TS 36.523-2 [15], is a statement of the implemented and supported capabilities and options of a
device.
The PICS document of the application device integrating SARA-R4/N4 series modules must be updated from the
module PICS statement if any feature stated as supported by the module in its PICS document is not implemented or
disabled in the application device. For more details regarding the AT commands settings that affect the PICS, see the
SARA-R4/N4 series AT Commands Manual [1].
Check the specific settings required for mobile network operators approvals as they may differ from the AT
commands settings defined in the module as integrated in the application device.
