Multiband 4G LTE-Only Modules

The TOBY-L1 series is u-blox’s latest line of ultra-compact long-term evolution (LTE) modules. The TOBY-L100 and its European version, the TOBY-L110, are suitable for tablets, mobile routers, set-top boxes, and high-speed machine-to-machine (M2M) applications (e.g., digital signage, mobile health, and security systems).

Compared with multi-mode modules, LTE-only modules offer cost advantages. Therefore, the TOBY-L1 works well in networks with advanced LTE deployment applications.

The LTE modules are available in two versions: the TOBY-L100 for the US (bands 4 and 13 for Verizon) and the TOBY-L110 for Europe (bands 3, 7, and 20 for EU operators). Contained in a compact 152-pin LGA module, the TOBY-L1 series is layout-compatible with u-blox’s SARA Global System for Mobile (GSM) and LISA Universal Mobile Telecommunications System/Code Division Multiple Access (UMTS/CDMA) module series to facilitate easy product migration and low-cost regional end-device adaptation.

The TOBY-L1 modules are based on u-blox’s LTE protocol stack. The modules support smooth migration between 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies and feature small packaging and comprehensive support tools. The TOBY-L1 LGA modules measure 2.8 mm × 24.8 mm × 35.6 mm, which enables them to easily mount on any application board.

The modules support USB 2.0 and firmware update over the air (FOTA) technology. The TOBY-L1 series delivers ultra-fast data rates and operates from –40°C to 85°C. USB drivers for Windows XP and 7 plus Radio Interface Layer (RIL) software for Android 4.0 and 4.2 are available free of charge.
