The Switzerland-based u-blox, a company that is into wireless and positioning modules, and integrated circuits, has launched the SARA – G340 module to address cost-sensitive Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. The new product is a full-featured dual-band (900/1800 MHz) GSM/GPRS module in a popular compact LGA module form factor.
u-blox said in a press statement that the SARA-G340 was best suited for industrial M2M applications such as metering, eCall, security, payment terminals, asset tracking and fleet management systems deployed in Europe and Asia.
The new SARA-G340 voice/data module is the ninth variant of the company’s popular SARA modem series consisting of the SARA-G3 GSM/GPRS and SARA-U2 UMTS/HSPA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE module families.
According to Thomas Nigg, VP Product Marketing at u-blox, in Europe and Asia, GSM/GPRS was a key and popular technology for connected M2M devices. “We optimized the SARA-G340 for these applications, enabling our customers to quickly integrate “smart” M2M connectivity into their products.”
All SARA modules are supported by comprehensive support tools, and also for automotive use.
