New at Mouser: u-blox LEXI-R10 LTE Cat 1bis Modules for IoT Applications

October 29, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the LEXI-R10 LTE Cat 1bis IoT modules from u-blox. The LEXI-R10 is an ultra-small LTE Cat 1bis IoT module based on the Qualcomm QCX216 platform for size-constrained designs like wearables, asset tracking, transport, logistics, healthcare, smart meters, smart cities, micro-mobility and sensor network applications.

u-blox LEXI-R10 LTE Cat 1bis modules, available from Mouser, were developed specifically to support IoT applications and are ideally suited for a wide range of value-oriented applications that require medium data speed and superior coverage. Introduced within 3GPP Release 13, Cat 1bis uses existing LTE networks but operates with a single antenna, instead of LTE Cat 1, which requires that IoT devices have two antennas, enabling LTE Cat 1bis devices to be more compact and simpler to design than LTE Cat 1 devices. In addition, Cat 1bis uses the same infrastructure and standards as LTE Cat 1, so there is no need to introduce new technology or development approaches. An embedded Wi-Fi radio scans hotspots for indoor locations and supports the u-blox CellLocate^® positioning service.

The LEXI-R10 features medium-capacity data connectivity (10 Mbit/s downlink, 5 Mbit/s uplink) with very low energy consumption and ultra-small size (16 x 16 mm²), enabling high design flexibility for miniature designs. The LEXI-R10 series modules support multiple bands and come in three variants: LEXI-R10001D for global use comes with an optional eSIM for cellular network connectivity, a comprehensive set of supported bands and all relevant regulatory and MNO certifications. LEXI R10401D provides an ideal LTE Cat 1bis solution for the Americas, as it supports all relevant LTE bands, is designed for use on AT&T and Verizon networks and includes the required regulatory and MNO certifications. LEXI-R10801D for the EMEA, APAC, and Brazil regions comes with necessary regulatory approvals such as RED, NCC, RCM, and Anatel.

Mouser also stocks the u-blox R10401D adapter boards and evaluation kits. The R10401D EV kits are powerful, easy-to-use tools that simplify the evaluation of the LEXI-R10 LTE Cat 1bis cellular modules. The u-blox R10401D adapter boards and evaluation kits are available in regional variants and are certified with leading mobile operators, including US LTE networks.
