1 LARA-R2 / LARA-R6 modules description
The u-blox LARA-R2 series comprises single-mode and multi-mode modules supporting LTE Cat 1 in
FDD multi-band, 3G UMTS/HSPA in FDD multi-band, 2G GSM/GPRS/EGPRS in dual-band, providing
the ideal solution for region-specific coverage.
The u-blox LARA-R6 series comprises single-mode and multi-mode modules supporting LTE Cat 1 in
FDD / TDD multi-band, 3G UMTS/HSPA in FDD multi-band, 2G GSM/GPRS/EGPRS in quad-band,
providing the ideal solution for global and multi-regional coverage.
All the LARA-R2 and LARA-R6 series modules are available in the same small LARA LGA form-factor
(26.0 x 24.0 mm, 100-pin), easy to integrate in compact designs.
LARA series modules are form-factor compatible with the u-blox SARA, LISA and TOBY cellular
module families, facilitating a seamless drop-in migration from other u-blox LPWA, GSM/GPRS,
CDMA, UMTS/HSPA and LTE modules.
Table 1 summarizes the main features and interfaces of LARA-R2 and LARA-R6 series modules.
Some features are not supported by older product versions of the corresponding LARA-R2 series
product variant. For more details, see LARA-R2 series data sheet
