Cavli alternatives for Quectel and u-blox

You have certainly heard about the challenges in the mobile communications module market and may even be affected yourself. The manufacturer u-blox is discontinuing its product line for mobile communications modules. Furthermore, Chinese manufacturers of communication modules in the USA are subject to trade restrictions for certain industries and applications.

We would therefore like to support you with these challenges. Our partner Cavli offers various alternatives for mobile communications modules. Some of these are pin-to-pin compatible and some are functionally compatible (not pin-to-pin).

Below you will find a selection of alternative product suggestions.
