LARA-R6 series

Single or multi-mode LTE Cat 1 modules with Secure Cloud

Product description

LARA-R6 series modules provide global and multi-regional

coverage in a very small form factor, thereby reducing logistics

complexity and increasing design flexibility. Three different

product variants provide flexibility for band use and access

technology by region, and include all relevant MNO certifications.

All modules in the series support receive-diversity, making them

the ideal choice for deployment in North America, as well as for

a diverse set of applications with demanding requirements for

reliable performance in difficult coverage conditions or those

that require voice functionality via VoLTE. The modules are

also secure by design with a root of trust, secure boot, secure

updates, and secure communications ((D)TLS) functionality.

Security is regularly updated via maintenance releases to keep

your device running and protected from attacks.

LARA-R6001 is the smallest LTE Cat 1 multi-mode module

with global coverage available in the market. As a single SKU, it

provides universal connectivity and greatly simplifies logistics.

This truly global module has 18 LTE bands plus 3G/2G fallback.

LARA-R6401 provides an ideal LTE Cat 1 solution for North

America, as it supports all relevant LTE bands and is designed

for use on AT&T, Verizon, FirstNet, or T-Mobile. Managing a

single SKU for the North American market simplifies logistics

and reduces associated costs.

LARA-R6801 is a multi-regional variant specifically designed

for use in EMEA/APAC/Japan and LATAM regions, supporting

all relevant LTE bands and technologies.

With the three regional variants, you can maximize the reuse of

development efforts. Versatile interfaces, features, multi-band

and multi-mode capabilities make LARA-R6 ideally suited for

a wide range of applications that require medium data speed,

seamless connectivity, superior coverage, low latency and

streaming data or voice. They include asset tracking, telematics,

remote monitoring, alarm panels, video surveillance, connected

health, and point-of-sale terminals.
