Overview 

The EVK-R5 kit is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that simplifies the evaluation of the u-blox SARA-R5 
series LTE-M / NB-IoT cellular modules. 

The following evaluation kits are available with u-blox SARA-R5 cellular modules: 

 

EVK-R500S evaluation kit is for evaluation of SARA-R500S modules 

 

EVK-R510S evaluation kit is for evaluation of SARA-R510S modules 

 

EVK-R510M8S evaluation kit is for evaluation of SARA-R510M8S modules 

All the evaluation kits are identified herein as the EVK-R5.
