Dear readers,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at a dizzying
pace. This market depends on wireless connectivity
via satellite positioning, short range radio and cellular
technologies our core competencies. At u-blox, we
focus on The Internet of Things that Really Matter: on
bringing to life solutions that will concretely benefit
connected cities, connected industries and connected
vehicles alike.
While IoT connectivity opens a wealth of possibilities,
it also raises mobile users expectations for enhanced
connected experiences. This is particularly clear in the
automotive industry, with the advent of the smart
connected car. Market projections from the automotive
research team at IHS Inc. indicate enormous growth
potential. By 2022, 77 million passenger vehicles will
be connected, accounting for more than 73% of the
market. It is one of the fastest growing segments of the
IoT. As a semiconductor company, our role is crucial in
supporting a cloud-connected car.
For instance, recently the European Parliament decided
to mandate an automatic-emergency-call alert system
in all new cars and light vans sold within the EU as
of 31st March 2018, which demonstrates a clear
need for wireless communications devices. u-blox
is well positioned to support road safety with our
Short Range Radio products portfolio, in particular
the new automotive grade V2X transceiver module,
THEO-P1. LILY-W1 is another ultra-compact single band
(2.4GHz) Wi-Fi transceiver module providing 802.11n
connectivity to a broad range of IoT applications with
LTE connectivity (page 54). More on the topic of Short
Range technology, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, is on pages
134-135 of this catalog.

Focus: Solutions
To stay competitive in a challenging market place, product developers continuously strive to
reduce time to market, increase system integration and deliver enhanced product features. We
deliver business advantage to our customers by offering system-level demonstration solutions that
incorporate several u-blox components and related software. This utilizes synergies only available when using multiple u-blox products together. Further, it brings reduced risk, faster time to
market, and increased system integration to our customers. As examples, eCall needs both u-blox
cellular and positioning technology, and a wireless gateway requires both an LTE module (e.g.
TOBY-L2) and a Wi-Fi module (e.g. EMMY-W1) along with an appropriate software stack.
We provide design proposals for different markets and challenges using a variety of wireless
and positioning technologies. This enables the quick creation of top-performing solutions using
u-blox products. We do not compete with our customers, therefore the listed solution examples
are not offered as commercial products.
Automotive Solutions
Telematics box (eCall / ERA-GLONASS / SVT):
Beginning in 2018, eCall will be a mandatory feature for each new car sold in the European
Union. Simply combining an LTE Cat4 smart-modem (e.g. TOBY-L2) with an automotive dead
reckoning positioning module (e.g. NEO-M8L) yields a fully functional telematics/eCall system. It
makes use of GNSS tunneling, which is included on all cellular u-blox modules. The same system
also enables the Russian ERA-GLONASS emergency response system and can be used for other
core services, such as stolen vehicle recovery and remote diagnostics.
Vehicle to ecosystem communication (V2x):
In preparation for self-driving cars and vehicle-to-environment communication, this solution enables a car to directly communicate with a nearby hotspot or another car, and quickly exchange
information. By using a THEO-P1 802.11p module and an automotive dead reckoning positioning
product (e.g. NEO-M8L) it is possible to optimize traffic during rush hour and even avoid crashes.
Industrial Solutions
Usage based insurance device (ODB-II):
An insurance device can be implemented as an independent consumer installed unit, fitting into
any vehicles on-board diagnostics (ODB) port, and thus can support the business model of a
usage based insurance offering. By combining a cellular module (2G, 3G or LTE Cat1 depending
on deployment region) with an untethered dead reckoning product (e.g. NEO-M8U) with bestin-class performance under weak signals, the solution will deliver a constant and reliable data
stream on car usage and driver behavior.
LTE gateways and wireless routers
A u-blox wireless gateway solution is useful to developers of gateway solutions for professional
markets, such as parking garage surveillance or road pricing. These solutions lead to shorter time
to market and reduced risk thanks to a pre-integrated, validated and certified solution (hardware
and software) as well as lower unit cost by exploiting the CPU and memory embedded in the
module. In addition, such a solution delivers valuable features, such as voice, security, and
antenna / RF co-existence.
Page 8 |
The ideal solution for gateways and routers will contain an LTE Cat4+ module with a Wi-Fi
module and will include as key features: LTE Cat4+ US, EMEA & APAC SKUs, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac,
2.4GHz and 5GHz options, and RF co-existence between LTE and Wi-Fi.
Consumer Solutions
Mobile routers (Mi-Fi) and LTE access points
Increasingly, personal devices need access to the cloud wherever and whenever the user is located.
The market for personal hotspots (so-called Mi-Fi devices) continues to grow, as do other examples of local internet connectivity, including cloud connected alarm panels and smart home or
smart city devices. In such a device, a moderate bandwidth is usually deployed for the backhaul
connection, such as a Cat1 (10 Mbps), or Cat4 (150 Mbps) LTE modem together with a local
connection to a small number (up to10) devices via a Wi-Fi modem. Suitable products from
u-blox would be the TOBY-R2, or TOBY-L2 LTE modules paired with an
ELLA-W1 series Wi-Fi module.
u-blox already offers the B31 gateway blueprint as a solution. The PCB design includes LTE, Wi-Fi
and optional GNSS modules. The software, which resides in the LTE modem, includes all necessary routing functions and provides a customizable html-based user interface together with a
set of customizable GPIOs. External components are minimized leading to a very cost effective
end-product.
Wearable devices (smart watches, fitness bands, glasses, infotainment)
The market for wearable devices is set to grow exponentially from the moderate volumes seen
today in personal trackers (children, elderly people) and recreational devices (golfing, running,
cycling). New high volume markets will include smart clothing, smarter watches (using speech
and gesture interfaces with augmented reality) and personal infotainment devices such as
lightweight glasses and interactive clothing.
Today, Bluetooth Smart local connectivity is commonplace and GNSS is becoming so. The
upcoming deployment of LTE CAT-M and its low latency, low-cost, direct internet connection
will enable faster and wider adoption of wearables. The smartphone slab in the users back
pocket will become a thing of the past. Key technical hurdles in this market are physical size,
power consumption and cost. All of these are optimized by creating a holistic solution comprising
Bluetooth, GNSS and LTE. Such solutions are already under development at u-blox, based on
products such as NINA-B1 (Bluetooth Smart 4.1), EVA-7M (GNSS) and LARA-R2 (LTE Cat1).

stack. This fundamental difference means u-blox is in full control of its own product
roadmap, features, quality and costs because we integrate our IP into our chips, including
the software stack.
u-bloxs sophisticated design flow adheres to state-of-the-art product development
processes:
Requirements management by structured tracing of requirements from our
global market access and deep relationships with customers.
Technology development for new key features and continual enhancement of
features and functionality.
Frequent review of product development program assures efficient use of
R&D resources for successful products.
Structure product life cycle process assures a stage by stage development of a
product, with defined qualification criteria at each stage.
Simulation and Characterization of all semiconductor designs to insure
compliancy with functionality and performance.
Risk management as standard procedure for all product development projects
for minimizing time delays.
Chip design for test and assembly to maximize quality and yield.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA): Early identification of potential
failures to determine actions to increase detection and reduce occurrence.
Design verification before tape-out through simulation and integrity testing.
Built-in Self Test (BIST) to accelerate testing of complex System-on-Chip designs,
increase coverage and lower testing costs.
Environmental stress tests: u-blox has invested millions in in-house testing
equipment to simulate years of product operation in the field and identify causes
of failure mechanisms.
Testing of firmware fully automated hardware-in-the-loop continuous integration.
Customers can depend on u-blox for high-quality, cost-effective, reliable chip and modules
with full confidence that the entire product definition, production, test and quality processes
are under u-blox control.

Product description
The TOBY-R201 module supports multi-band LTE-FDD
along with DC-HSPA+ in a very small LGA package.
The temperature range of 40 to +85 C guarantees operation in harsh environments and in very compact designs.
The modules are ideal for applications that are transitioning to LTE from 2G and 3G, due to the long term availability and scalability of LTE networks. At the same time
in areas with marginal LTE coverage, they also provide 3G
fallback.
The compact LGA package enables straightforward automated manufacturing. Easy migration from u-blox GSM/
GPRS, CDMA, and UMTS/HSPA maximizes the investments
of customers, simplifies logistics, and enables very short
time-to-market.

EVA-M8M
7.0 x 7.0 x 1.1 mm
Product description
EVA-M8M series comes in two variants. The EVA-M8M-0
defaults to GPS/QZSS/GLONASS and fits global applications, whereas EVA-M8M-1 defaults to GPS/QZSS/BeiDou
making it the ideal module for China. The right satellite
constellations can be selected without touching software,
and therefore reducing the design and testing effort.
The EVA-M8M series can be easily integrated in manufacturing, thanks to the QFN-like package. The modules
are available in 500 pcs/reel, ideal for small production
batches. The EVA-M8M modules combine a high level of
integration capability with flexible connectivity options in
a miniature package. This makes the EVA-M8M modules
perfectly suited for size- and cost-sensitive industrial and
wearable devices. The DDC (I2C compliant) interface
provides connectivity and enables synergies with u-blox
cellular modules.
The EVA-M8M series uses a crystal oscillator for lower system costs. Like other u-blox GNSS modules, the EVA-M8M
series uses components selected for functioning reliably in
the field over the full operating temperature range.
With dual-frequency RF front-end, the u-blox M8 concurrent GNSS engine is able to intelligently use the highest
amount of visible satellites from two GNSS (GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou) systems for reliable positioning. The

Product description
ation pattern increases flexibility for device installation.
Optionally, CAMM8 series modules can be connected to
an external GNSS antenna. The SMD design keeps manufacturing costs to a minimum and the small mass ensures
high reliability.
Incorporating the CAMM8 series modules into customer designs is simple and straightforward, thanks to the
embedded GNSS antenna, small footprint of 9.6 x 14 x
1.95 mm, and sophisticated interference suppression that
ensures maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments. The low power consumption and thin design
allow end devices to be slimmer and smaller.

Product description
The NEO-M8T and LEA-M8T concurrent GNSS modules
deliver high integrity, precision timing in demanding
applications world-wide. Support for BeiDou, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations enables compliance with
national requirements. Enhanced sensitivity and concurrent dual-constellation reception extend coverage and
integrity to challenging signal environments. Survey-in and
fixed-position navigation reduce timing jitter, even at low
signal levels, and enable synchronization to be maintained
with as few as one single satellite in view. Support for
low duty cycle operation reduces power consumption for
battery-powered applications.
The M8T timing modules are delivered in u-bloxs established LEA and NEO form-factors with standard pin-out,
allowing ready migration from previous product generations.
u-blox timing products can make use of u-blox AssistNow
or industry standard aiding data. This reduces the time
to first fix and delivers exceptional acquisition sensitivity,
even on first installation before precise location, time or
frequency are known.
u-blox M8 modules use GNSS chips qualified according to
AECQ100, are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified
sites, and are fully tested on a system level. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750
standard: Road vehicles Environmental conditions and
testing for electrical and electronic equipment.

Product description
u-bloxs ADR chips support Dead Reckoning with single
and differential wheel-ticks, gyroscope and accelerometer
sensors, and incorporate map-matching feedback where
available. The latest generation supports wheel ticks and
3D sensors connected directly to the receiver offering a
useful saving in eBOM and the benefits of reduced latency.
Flexible automatic configuration reduces the number of
product variants required to support multiple applications.
The professional-grade M8030-KT-DR and automotivegrade M8030-KA-DR chips offer u-bloxs fourth
generation ADR technology designed to meet the
needs of the latest interactive navigation systems and
displays. The performance of these products benefits
from experience in demanding, first-fit passenger-car
applications, the latest multi-axis sensor technology, and
advancements in u-bloxs multi-GNSS signal processing,
particularly in highly urban environments.
u-bloxs latest ADR technology introduces a new High
Navigation Rate class of positioning outputs, which are
designed to enable interactive, real-time applications
and heads up displays (HUD). These outputs combine
low-latency data from sensors with accurate fused fixes to
deliver exceptionally responsive reports of position, speed,
heading, acceleration, rate of turn and vehicle attitude.

Overview
AssistNow global online service for accelerated positioning
Users expect instant position information. During
cold start conditions, this is sometimes not possible
because at least four satellites must be identified, and
their complete orbital position data, called Ephemeris,
received. Due to the low data rate of satellite signals
(only 50 baud!) together with adverse geographical
or city conditions, downloads from satellites can be
unacceptably long, or even fail altogether.

With AssistNow Offline, users download u-bloxs
Differential Almanac Correction Data from the internet
at their convenience. The correction data is then transferred to the mobile terminal via TCP/IP, serial port,
memory card, etc, and can either be stored in the
GNSS receivers Flash EPROM (if available) or in the
memory of the application processor. Therefore, the
service requires no connectivity at system start-up and
enables a position fix within seconds, even when no
network is available.

Bluetooth technology
Robust connectivity in a globally deployed ecosystem
Classic Bluetooth vs Bluetooth low
energy
Robustness
Bluetooth uses adaptive frequency hopping to automatically avoid channels potentially in use by other
technologies operating in the 2.4 GHz band. As a result
Bluetooth is well-suited not only for the consumer
market, but also in industrial and medical applications,
where the reliability data throughput provided by
Bluetooth is key.
Unprecedented eco-system
With over two billion devices shipping annually,
Bluetooth has become a de-facto standard for wireless
connectivity between mobile consumer devices. It now
has an unmatched eco-system, which is important for
connecting hand-held devices such as smart phones to
other devices. Bluetooth low energy is ideal for connecting several types of devices in different functionality areas, as would be the case with IoT applications.
Bluetooth low energy technology is ideal for applications requiring episodic or periodic transfer of small
amounts of data where low cost and ultra low power
consumption is the focus. It is particularly useful for
Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
In a Bluetooth application where streaming data is
used, Classic Bluetooth technology is the preferred
choice as it achieves substantially greater throughput
than Bluetooth low energy.
OBS421 module
Examples of solutions using Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy technologies
Bluetooth low energy end-devices (Bluetooth Smart) include actuators and sensors.
Dual-mode Bluetooth end-devices (Bluetooth Smart Ready) include gateways and laptops.
Classic Bluetooth end-devices include PLCs and patient monitoring devices.

UBX-M8030: Concurrent,
high performance positioning
UBX-G8020:
Low-power positioning
All in all, u-blox M8 is the right choice for high performance positioning applications, bringing the increased
performance of concurrent GNSS reception to practical
application. By using an external SQI flash, u-blox M8
is also future-proof, as firmware updates can easily be
made.
u-blox 8: low-power, competitive positioning
For applications where the important key parameter
is low power consumption, u-blox 8 is the perfect
answer. u-blox 8 sets a new standard in the market for
accurate, low power multi-GNSS operation, which is
particularly attractive for small battery powered devices
like asset and vehicle tracking boxes. In the case of rural
or suburban areas, the u-blox 8 single GNSS reception
is more than sufficient to provide accurate and reliable
positioning information. u-blox 8 supports single reception of either GPS or GLONASS, selectable on startup. u-blox 8 is available in ROM in order to achieve a
competitive solution.
u-blox GNSS chips
Both receiver chips come in QFN40 packages in
standard and automotive grades. Chip scale packages
are also available for commercial applications. The
u-bloxM8 QFN package is pin compatible with u-blox8
and u-blox7 QFN packages, and extensive documentation makes migration easy. The Automotive grade
u-blox M8 chip supports wide operating temp. range
of 40 ... +105C and comes with AEC-Q100 grade 2
qualification.

UDR combines inertial sensor data with GNSS to improve the accuracy of positioning in town. Compared
with standard precision GNSS, the benefit of UDR is
particularly apparent in high-rise cities where sensor
data helps to mitigate the effects of GNSS signal
reflections and ensure navigation to the correct street
and block. In many cases, good positioning can be
maintained when GNSS signals are lost completely, for
example in tunnels, loading-bays and parking garages.
Sensor support
u-bloxs dead-reckoning technology is available in
module form and IC packages, with integrated inertial
sensors and support for vehicle or system sensors. The
latest generation supports directly-connected sensors
and wheel-ticks, reducing the cost of implementation
and allowing the receiver to exploit the benefits of reduced latency and jitter in data direct from the sensor.
ADR products also continue to support the full range
of differential wheel-tick and vehicle sensor modes
with data delivered via the message bus.
u-bloxs UDR products are completely self-configuring
during normal driving, avoiding the need for vehicle-specific variants or special steps during installation.
The latest ADR products adapt automatically to the
most common installation types and can be pre-configured if necessary for rapid testing and verification.
Both product families provide clear alerts of installation
problems.
Evaluation tools
Evaluation kits for u-blox ADR and UDR technology
can be ordered via a u-blox sales-representative.

Today many guidance and precise geo-location applications require higher accuracy than traditional GNSS can
provide. Examples include prosumer and commercial
UAVs, survey and mapping applications, and machine
guidance in agriculture and construction. Various
leisure and sport applications are also looking for accuracies beyond standard GNSS precision to improve user
experience.
u-blox has integrated Real Time Kinematic (RTK) and
SBAS-based Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technologies together with u-blox GNSS recievers in the NEO
module form factor. These modules perform precisely
and at a fraction of the cost, size and power of existing
alternatives.
