u-blox, a renowned manufacturer, has developed a versatile module that supports 14 LTE bands, four GSM/GPRS bands, and integrated GNSS for precise global tracking. MIKROE, an embedded solutions company, has leveraged this technology to launch the 4G LTE&GNSS Click, a compact add-on board designed for advanced global tracking and telematics applications.

The 4G LTE&GNSS Click board features the LENA-R8, a compact, multi-mode LTE Cat 1bis module from u-blox. This module offers universal connectivity with support for 14 LTE bands and four GSM/GPRS bands, along with integrated u-blox GNSS for precise global tracking. The board facilitates seamless communication via UART and includes a USB interface for comprehensive device management and firmware updates.

Commenting on the launch, Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE, stated, "This Click board™ features the innovative and very useful ClickID function, enabling a host system to seamlessly and automatically detect and identify this add-on board."

Ideally suited for IoT applications requiring broad global coverage and high-performance location services, the 4G LTE&GNSS Click board is a powerful tool for developers in the tracking and telematics markets. The board is fully compatible with the mikroBUS™ socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS™ standard. It comes with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering unparalleled flexibility for evaluation and customization.
