1.1 Overview
SARA-G450 modules are versatile 2.5G GSM/GPRS cellular modules in the miniature SARA 96-pin
LGA (Land Grid Array) form factor (26.0 x 16.0 mm).
Featuring low power consumption, the SARA-G450 modules combine baseband, RF transceiver,
power management unit, and power amplifier in a single solution allowing an easy integration into
compact designs and a seamless drop-in migration between other SARA series modules and to and
from the other u-blox cellular modules families.
SARA-G450 modules provide a fully qualified and certified solution, reducing cost and enabling short
time to market. These modules are ideally suited for M2M applications such as: Automatic Meter
Reading (AMR), Remote Monitoring Automation and Control (RMAC), surveillance and security, road
pricing, asset tracking, fleet management, anti-theft systems and Point of Sales (PoS) terminals.
SARA-G450 modules are full-feature GSM/GPRS quad-band cellular modules with a comprehensive
feature set including an extensive set of internet protocols. The modules are also designed to provide
fully integrated access to u-blox GNSS positioning chips and modules, with embedded A-GPS
(AssistNow Online and AssistNow Offline) functionality. Any host processor connected to the cellular
module through a single serial port can control both the cellular module and the positioning
chip / module.
The SARA-G450 modules’ compact form factor and LGA pads allow fully automated assembly with
standard pick & place and reflow soldering equipment for cost-efficient, high-volume production.
