u-blox launches its first LTE Cat 1bis module with embedded eSIM for flexible and reliable connectivity management

u-blox, a global provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies, has launched the SARA-R10001DE, a LTE Cat 1bis module featuring an embedded eSIM with Wireless Logic connectivity designed to improve the robustness, reliability, and resilience of IoT applications. The integral eSIM ensures flexible connectivity management and gives customers the ability to switch to the best network in terms of coverage and cost. Offering faster deployment and reliable connectivity regardless of geography, the SARA-R10001DE offers multiple benefits in applications including asset tracking, telematics, micro-mobility, solar technology, smart homes, and cities, and point of sales.

The new u-blox SARA-R10001DE provides full LTE Cat 1bis band support and an eSIM with multi-IMSI technology and eUICC capability. The eSIM is already profiled with a series of Wireless Logic SIM profiles but can also be remotely profiled via OTA using Remote SIM Provisioning.

The multiple SIM profiles stored in the Wireless Logic eSIM allow the module to connect to the best network automatically. This gives confidence that the module will always connect to the best network and that the eSIM will maintain reliable connectivity by switching automatically to a different operator if any issues arise.

The embedded eSIM simplifies customer logistics because it minimizes the time and effort involved in managing SIM procurement and eliminates the need to source companion components such as SIM holders.
