u-blox Announces Launch of Automotive Telematics Module
Published2017.06.16 10:43u-blox has announced the launch of the automotive-grade telematics module in the TOBY-L4 series. This series integrates LTE, UMTS and GSM connectivity capabilities into a powerful embedded processor, enabling diverse applications on a single device.
Connectivity is a core feature of the TOBY-L4 LTE Cat 6 module, capable of delivering complete gateway functionality and data speeds up to 300Mbit/s through carrier aggregation on a single device.
The TOBY-L4 supports both voice and data in LTE, UMTS/DC-HSPA+, GSM, SMS and voice formats (VoLTE and CSFB). This module, which supports eCall (capable of operating for a minimum of 2 minutes at +95°C temperature) and ERA-GLONASS, meets all relevant requirements in the current automotive and mobile communications industries, and has been designed with consideration for future competitiveness across all major operating regions of automotive OEM manufacturers.
Stefano Moioli, Director of Cellular Product Management at u-blox, stated: "This is where the concept of the connected car lies. The TOBY-L4 series, based on the LTE Cat 6 module, provides OEM manufacturers with connectivity that allows them to add fully integrated applications within a security-equipped system without compromising safety, performance and functionality."
Security is a critical element of all connected devices. The TOBY-L4 enhances security through integrated secure boot and update functionality (supported by hardware cryptographic accelerators and random number generators). The dedicated secure execution environment provides enhanced security for system software and OEM applications. Through its embedded processor and support for a wide range of interfaces (including R(G)MII and analog audio), the TOBY-L4 eliminates the need for additional processors and components that many applications previously required, reducing space, power and cost.
This module is manufactured in facilities certified to ISO/TS 16949 and complies with the ISO 16750 standard for vehicle-mounted systems, making it the ideal solution for automotive OEM manufacturers.
