Lena-R8

Compact multi-mode LTE Cat 1bis module with global coverage, flexible location features, and built-in MQTT roaming support for tracking, telematics, and voice-based IoT.

Lena-R8 overview

The Lena-R8 series delivers multi-mode LTE Cat 1bis connectivity with global band support and 2G fallback — simplifying deployment with a single product SKU. Designed for cost-sensitive applications like tracking and telematics, it supports voice, data, and location services in a compact 27 x 30 mm form factor. The module offers integrated GNSS options and CellLocate for flexible positioning, and is preconfigured to support MQTT Anywhere for seamless global roaming via the Thingstream platform.

Benefits

Global connectivity

Supports 14 LTE Cat 1bis bands with 2G fallback, enabling simplified worldwide deployment and wide roaming coverage.

Flexible location options

Choose integrated GNSS (Lena-R8001M10), stand-alone GNSS, or CellLocate depending on application and power requirements.

Voice-ready Lena

Supports VoLTE and 2G audio for alarm panels, eHealthcare, and other voice-based IoT use cases.

Built-in MQTT roaming

Out-of-the-box compatibility with MQTT Anywhere for global messaging and seamless roaming.

Easy platform migration

PIN-compatible with other modules, allowing straightforward upgrades from legacy 2G/3G solutions.

Highlights

01:

Global LTE and 2G bands: Provides LTE Cat 1bis coverage across 14 bands with fallback to 2G for enhanced roaming flexibility in diverse network environments.

03:

Advanced location features: Supports CellLocate for network-based positioning options suited to both high-precision and low-power applications.

05:

MQTT Anywhere compatibility: Enables instant access to global MQTT messaging with zero configuration using the Thingstream platform.

07:

Flexible integration: Offers dedicated interfaces for both cellular modem subsystems, providing developers with greater control and flexibility.

02:

Compact design: Small 27 x 30 x 2.7 mm form factor ideal for integration into space-limited applications.

04:

Voice support: Enables VoLTE and 2G audio for voice-capable applications in both modern and legacy infrastructure settings.

06:

Power-efficient dual-mode operation: Cellular subsystems operate independently, allowing optimised usage patterns to minimise energy consumption.

08:

Future-ready migration path: PIN-compatible with other form factors to enable seamless transition from retiring 2G/3G networks to LTE Cat 1bis.
