u-blox Introduces TOBY-L201, a 150 Mbps 4G LTE and WCDMA Module With Multi-carrier Support

AT&T and Verizon-certified cellular modem with voice and data offers future-proof, high speed, always-on connectivity

THALWIL, Switzerland, August 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    u-blox, a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, announces
TOBY-L201, the world's first 4G LTE Cat 4 module with 3G WCDMA fall-back, which works on
AT&T and Verizon networks.  TOBY-L201 switches automatically or via AT command to AT&T's
or Verizon's network, without the need to load new firmware. Depending on which carrier's
SIM card is inserted, TOBY-L201 recognizes the carrier and starts on that carrier's
network.  If devices are equipped with two SIM cards or a configurable SIM chip, TOBY-L201
can be switched between operators on-the-fly via a simple AT command.

    The versatile TOBY-L201 module offers best-in-class download speeds up to 150 Mbps and
comes in a miniature 24.8 x 35.6 mm LGA form factor. It operates from -40degree(s)C to
+85degree(s)C, making it suitable for most demanding automotive, industrial, and consumer
devices. TOBY-L201 is ideal for infotainment systems, telematics control units, rugged
mobile terminals, set-top boxes, notebooks, tablets, as well as high-speed M2M
applications like alarm panels, digital signage, mobile health, remote security and video
systems.

    "No other cellular module can rival TOBY-L201 for its unique combination of carrier
independence and high performance in a very cost-effective, compact package," said
Nikolaos Papadopoulos, President of u-blox America. "Of course, as all u-blox cellular
modules, TOBY-L201 is layout compatible with our GSM/GPRS, HSPA/HSPA+, and CDMA modules,
making it very easy for customers to upgrade their existing products."

    TOBY-L201 includes IPv4/IPv6 stacks for secure Internet-of-Things applications. The
module is designed for easy integration with u-blox GNSS modules and chips to provide both
outdoor and indoor positioning capabilities. TOBY-L201 will also include an extensive
suite of IP protocols including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, HTTP, FTP, and SSL.

    Linux supports TOBY-L201 modules natively, while u-blox provides RIL software for
Android and Embedded Windows free of charge.

    The modules are produced in ISO/TS 16949 automotive-certified production sites to
ensure the highest quality and reliability.
