Thalwil, Switzerland and Melbourne, Australia - Aug. 23,
2012 - Swiss-based u‑blox, a global leader in
positioning and wireless semiconductors, has had its LISA-U200 UMTS/HSPA modem tested
by Telstra. The product has been certified as being Telstra Mobile
Network compatible. The certification allows customers to design in
the LISA-U200 modem into M2M devices operating over Telstra's
extensive 3G network in Australia. Main applications include
vehicle and asset tracking, industrial automation, metering, and
security devices.
"Following a comprehensive yet straightforward certification
procedure, we are proud that our LISA-U200 wireless module is ready
for use over Telstra's 3G network which is the largest in
Australia. Competent technical support provided by our local
application engineers and by our wireless R&D center in Italy
was key to achieving this approval," said Adrian Tan, General
Manager, u-blox APAC.
The LISA-U200 is the world's smallest wireless 3G module
delivering high data-rates (5.76 Mb/s uplink and 7.2 Mb/s downlink)
with voice and data capabilities. It is compatible with global 3G
networks intended for consumer, automotive and industrial
applications. For telematics applications such as fleet and asset
management, the module provides easy integration with u-blox GPS,
GLONASS and QZSS receivers.
LISA modules come in SMT form-factor and have a very small
footprint (only 22.4 x 33.2 x 2.6 mm), allowing easy mounting on
any application board. The LISA form factor enables easy
manufacturing, as well as simple migration from u‑blox' GSM/GPRS
modules. Support for A-GPS and u-blox' unique CellLocateTM positioning
technology is embedded to facilitate advanced telematics
applications including indoor positioning.
Features include compatibility with quad-band GPRS/EDGE, low
power (idle mode less than 1.5 mA) and operating temperature -40°C
to +85°C. RIL software for Android and Embedded Windows is
available free of charge. LISA-U200 modules are manufactured in
ISO/TS 16949 certified sites and are fully qualified according to
ISO 16750 - Environmental conditions and electrical testing for
electrical and electronic equipment for road vehicles to provide
high durability and reliability.
