• u-blox Nina B112 low energy Bluetooth® module

• u-blox Sara 422 is a Multi-band NB-IoT / LTE-M EGPRS module with a 2G fallback option supporting nearly global connectivity plus jamming detection.

• u-blox MAX-M8 module utilizes concurrent reception of up to three GNSS systems for the most reliable positioning including minimal acquisition times while maintaining low system power. It supports message integrity protection, geofencing, and spoofing detection.

• u-blox CloudLocate for 10x extended power saving over a standalone GNSS solutions

• u-blox AssistNow for Real-time online A-GNSS service with assured global availability

• u-blox connectivity services are delivered by the Thingstream IoT service delivery platform
