EVK-R6 and EVK-L6 overview 

The u-blox EVK-R6 and EVK-L6 kits are powerful and easy-to-use tools that simplifies the evaluation 
of  the  LARA-R6  series  multimode  LTE  Cat  1  /  3G  /  2G  cellular  modules  and  the  evaluation  of  the 
LARA-L6 series multimode LTE Cat 4 / 3G / 2G cellular modules. 

The following evaluation kits are available (see 

Figure 1

): 

 

EVK-R6001 evaluation kit is for evaluation of LARA-R6001 modules 

 

EVK-R6401 evaluation kit is for evaluation of LARA-R6401 modules 

 

EVK-R6801 evaluation kit is for evaluation of LARA-R6801 modules 

 

EVK-L6004 evaluation kit is for evaluation of LARA-L6004 modules 

 

EVK-L6004D evaluation kit is for evaluation of LARA-L6004D modules 

All the EVK-R6001, EVK-R6401, EVK-R6801, EVK-L6004 and EVK-L6004D evaluation kits are herein 
identified as EVK-R6 and EVK-L6.
