u-bloxSARA-R510M8S-00B
Overview
The SARA-R510M8S-00B is a secure LTE-M and NB-IoT cellular module featuring an integrated u-blox M8 GNSS receiver for global positioning. Built on the UBX-R5 chipset, it supports 5G-ready Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connectivity with a peak data rate of 1.2Mbps and a wide operating voltage range of 3V to 4.5V. This 96-pin LGA module is designed for long-term IoT deployments, offering high sensitivity of -167dBm and ultra-low power consumption in PSM deep-sleep mode.
Why Choose This Part
The module integrates u-blox's proprietary hardware-based Root of Trust, providing a high level of security for IoT applications. Its internal M8 GNSS receiver allows for concurrent cellular and positioning operations without the need for an external location chip. Engineers benefit from a comprehensive software stack that includes native support for MQTT-SN, LwM2M, and uFOTA for efficient remote lifecycle management.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Evaluation is best performed using the EVK-R5 series development kits, which provide access to all interfaces via USB and header pins. The module is controlled through standard AT commands and can be managed via the u-blox m-center tool. Integration requires a 50-ohm cellular antenna and a separate GNSS antenna or a combined solution, with power delivery capable of handling up to 395mA peaks during transmission.
