LARA-R6801-00B

LARA-R6801-00B is a compact cellular IoT module in the LARA family, designed to add LTE connectivity to embedded devices. It supports LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT (with regional options) for low-power, wide-area IoT applications, often with optional GNSS for positioning.
Key features:
- Cellular: data/SMS, regional band support, low power operation
- GNSS: optional GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou as needed
- Interfaces: primary UART (most common), plus USB, SPI, I2C, GPIOs, ADC/PWM
- Power and security: sleep modes for long battery life; secure boot and TLS options
- Host integration: AT-command–driven control; SIM interface; status/reset pins
Common use cases:
- Remote sensing, asset tracking, metering, industrial IoT, smart city deployments
What to check in the datasheet:
- Exact band/regulatory coverage, electrical specs, pinout, and AT commands
- Development kits, reference designs, and app notes for integration
Note: specifics vary by revision; consult the official LARA-R6801-00B datasheet for precise details.
