LISA wireless module extension

602 U-Blox has announced the extension of its LISA wireless module family to include two new members, the LISA-H100 for the USA and the LISA-H110 for Europe and Asia. The UMTS/HSDPA data modems are dedicated to telematics and telemetry applications that typically require only data and not the full 3G bandwidth. The modems are backwards-compatible with 2G (GPRS/EDGE) networks. Applications include automatic meter reading, point of sales terminals, remote monitoring and control, asset tracking, fleet management and remote sensor monitoring.

"The two new LISA family members are optimised for speeds typically found in remote monitoring applications. These modems are capable of 3.6Mb/s download and 384 kb/s upload speeds which are sufficient for the vast majority of M2M applications," says Thomas Nigg, VP product marketing at U-blox.
