u-blox announces new RPMA module and four LTE Cat 1 modules at EU Utility Week 2016

u-blox demonstrates commitment to the IoT with new RPMA module for LPWA applications and LTE Cat 1 modules with global network support

u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, today announced its first RPMA module for Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWA) IoT applications, as well as four new LTE Cat 1 cellular modules. u-blox will be showing the NANO-S100, its first RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) module for the IoT (Internet of Things), made in partnership with Ingenu, at the European Utility Week 2016. u-blox is also showcasing four new LARA and TOBY LTE Cat 1 modules.

“As the IoT progresses, the gap between existing wireless options and what the market needs is growing,” said Stefano Moioli, u-blox Director of Product Management Cellular. “At u-blox we’re excited to fill the gaps both for the low-power wide area network needs in the unlicensed spectrum, with our new NANO-S100 modules using RPMA technology, and in the licensed spectrum for devices that need more bandwidth, with our new LARA and TOBY LTE Cat 1 cellular modules, which will take advantage of widely deployed LTE Cat 1 networks in Europe and North America.”
