5 Customer Impact and Recommended Action
5.1 System Test
u-blox has taken utmost care to achieve the highest level of backward compatibility of SARA-G340-02S and
SARA-G350-02S to its predecessors. A system test is however recommended.
Depending on the type of application and required certification schemes, a delta certification may apply. We
recommend consulting with your preferred notified body to verify the actual requirements applicable to your
product
5.2 Previous SARA-G versions
The previous versions of SARA-G340 and SARA-G350 can still be ordered by customers who want to use the
older version, although the migration to the latest SARA-G350/SARA-G340 version is recommended:
