Product description
The SARA-G450 GSM/GPRS module features class 12 GSM/
GPRS connectivity in the popular u-blox SARA form factor.
The SARA-G450 module is an ideal solution for cost and
space-sensitive applications. It oers an excellent price-to-per-
formance ratio for all M2M applications where environmental
conditions (temperature, EMC and mechanical stresses) are
within standard levels.
Its rich feature set – including GSM/GPRS class 12 and simple
integration – enable customers to easily integrate the module
and develop a wide range of M2M devices.
Thanks to its pin compatibility with the u-blox modules
SARA-G3 (GSM), SARA-U2 (HSPA), SARA-R4/N4 (LTE Cat M1/
Cat NB1), SARA-N2 (LTE Cat NB1), TOBY-L2 (LTE Cat 4) and
TOBY-R2/LARA-R2/LARA-R3121 (LTE Cat 1), the SARA-G450
allows customers to utilize the same PCB design, thus target-
ing various environmental requirements and dierent cellular
technologies.
u-blox cellular modules are certied and approved by the main
regulatory bodies and operators.
