The secure element is compliant with EAL5+ High common criteria certification, which makes SARA-R5 ideally suited to protect sensitive assets and communications.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The module also features a lightweight and low power pre-shared key (PSK) management system that is tailored to the needs of IoT applications, along with a comprehensive set of security features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKudelski and u-blox are making IoT simple and secure for anyone that adopts SARA-R5,\u201d said Jean-Michel Puiatti, SVP IoT Security at Kudelski Group. \u201cBy establishing an immutable identity in every module, we lay the foundations for robust protection of the device, data, decisions, commands and actions. This ensures that companies achieve their IoT business objectives and long-term return on investment with confidence.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With mobile network operators announcing their plans to roll out 5G networks, 5G readiness is becoming a key factor in selecting cellular communication modules. LTE-M and NB-IoT are forward-compatible with 5G networks and, by implementing key LTE-M and NB-IoT features from 3GPP Release 14, SARA-R5 offers customers a smooth transition towards 5G via software upgrades to already deployed devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SARA-R5 series builds on the new u-blox UBX-R5 LTE chipset and the u-blox M8 GNSS chip, which means that production and product lifetime are not dependent on third party chipmakers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For customers, this translates into long-term availability, roadmap stability, and technical support down to the silicon level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Core technology ownership enables new features, relevant for positioning, timing, connectivity, and security.&nbsp; SARA-R5 comes in two product variants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring a built-in u-blox M8 GNSS receiver, SARA\u2011R511M targets mobile applications in the automotive, fleet management, tracking, and telematics sectors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GNSS receiver\u2019s chip-down design includes a dedicated GNSS antenna interface and can run in parallel with the cellular connection. This assures maximum design flexibility, while preserving overall system power consumption. The second product variant, SARA-R510M, is optimised to deliver the lowest achievable power consumption, drawing less than 1 microampere of current in power save mode, making it ideal for metering, smart city, connected health, security and surveillance, remote monitoring and other battery-powered applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe SARA-R5 is the first module in our portfolio designed to enable value-added services and features that can be remotely activated at any time on already deployed devices,\u201d says Andreas Thiel. \u201cThe modules are also u-blox\u2019s first with integrated eSIM capability, offering SIM activation and subscription management options to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samples for the SARA-R5 series will be available in Q4 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>u-blox has announced the SARA-R5 series of LTE-M and NB-IoT modules for low power wide area (LPWA) IoT applications, its most advanced, secure and highly integrated cellular product.
