SARA-R500E Cellular Module by u-blox AG
The SARA-R500E from u-Blox is an LTE-M Module with an embedded SIM. It supports 3GPP Rel. 14 features for IoT applications such as improvements to power consumption, coverage, data rate, mobility & positioning, and is 5G-ready. This module has an eSIM that eliminates the need for a SIM card holder, related circuitry, and a separately sourced SIM card with a connectivity plan. Data plans for this eSIM can be selected using u-Blox’s Thingstream platform and it supports MQTT Anywhere, AssistNow & CellLocate services from u-Blox. It delivers a data rate of up to 1200 kbit/s (uplink) and 374 kbit/s (downlink). This module requires a DC supply from 3.0 to 4.5 V and consumes less than 195 mA of current.
The SARA-R500E can be controlled via 8-wire UART, DDC (I2C), USB, and GPIO interfaces. It is available in a 96-pin LGA package that measures 16.0 x 26.0 x 2.2 mm and is ideal for use in LPWA applications such as used in smart metering, smart lighting, telematics, asset tracking, remote monitoring, alarm panels, and connected healthcare.
