Product Summary

Objective Specification

IoT security redefined in a 5G-ready LTE-M and NB-IoT chipset

• First Common Criteria EAL5+ High certified cellular IoT Secure Element provides best-in-class hardware-based security

• 5G-ready, software-configurable cellular modem to last an IoT lifetime

• Service-on-chip architecture captures signal deep inside hardware for improved positioning and energy efficiency

• Easy integration with u-blox GNSS products and operation of LTE-based positioning

• Powerful edge computing platform provides a hosted application environment

Product description

The UBX-R5 is a 5G-ready, multi-band LTE-M / NB-IoT chipset

that provides industry-leading hardware-based security to

a wide range of low-power wide-area (LPWA) IoT devices. It

includes the first Common Criteria (CC) EAL5+ High certified

IoT Secure Element with a hardware Root of Trust, enabling

the strongest protection against attacks on mission-critical

IoT assets or devices that transmit sensitive information.

Due to the high degree of software configurability within the

third generation in-house VSP-based modem processor, the

UBX-R5 chipset is 5G-ready and offers platform stability and

longevity to customer devices.

UBX-R5 is based on a service-on-chip architecture, which

offers low-level insights and data points from deep within the

hardware, such as event-based energy consumption moni-

toring and smart antenna tuning, among others.

The chipset can be easily combined with any u-blox GNSS

product.

The UBX-R5 chipset includes integrated RF, baseband, power

management and RAM and supports several power-saving

functionalities, such as PSM and eDRX. Further, it supports

enhanced LTE coverage via CE Mode A and B for LTE-M, and

ECL1 and ECL2 for NB-IoT, achieving deeper penetration in-

side buildings and underground.
