The SARA-N310 NB-IoT multi-band module supports a selected set of features based on 3GPP Release 14. The module will have additional features and ultimately become Release 14 and 5G compliant via subsequent firmware upgrades.
SARA-N310 includes firmware features and internet protocols for NB-IoT products, including TCP, CoAP, DTLS, LwM2M, MQTT, SSL/TLS and HTTP(S). These enable a diverse and broad set of new IoT applications and simplify customer migration to NB-IoT from other legacy cellular or unlicensed technologies. With u-blox nested design, easy migration between u-blox LTE-M, LTE Cat 1 and 2G modules is guaranteed, while enabling future-proof, seamless mechanical scalability across technologies.
SARA-N310 is a power optimized product that delivers 10+ years of battery life on a single cell primary battery, thus reducing maintenance costs. Critical firmware updates can be delivered over the air using the u-blox uFOTA client / server solution with LwM2M, which is a more lightweight solution compared to OMA-DM. LwM2M-configurable objects allow device makers to develop customized features.
The SARA-N310 module is manufactured to professional grade standards with 100% automatic x-ray and optical inspection on modules, as well as 100% outgoing test, product traceability, PCN process, failure analysis and product qualification according to ISO 16750. This level of quality is paramount for highly reliable products intended for long term use in the field.
