Click add-on board provides global LTE-M/NB-IoT connectivity
MIKROE has introduced the LTE IoT 10 Click, a compact add-on board that delivers reliable LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity for industrial and commercial IoT applications.
A new addition to the 1750-strong mikroBUS™ -enabled Click board™ family, the LTE IoT 10 Click features the Monarch GM02S, a low-power and dual-mode LTE-M/NB-IoT module from Sequans that supports global operation across the 617 MHz to 2.2 GHz bands.
Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “LTE IoT 10 Click is ideal for smart meters, industrial sensors, asset tracking, smart home and city applications, wearables, and healthcare monitoring requiring power-efficient cellular IoT connectivity.”
Olivier Pauzet, EVP of Marketing and Strategy at Sequans, stated: “Developers can now swiftly innovate and design new IoT products with our flagship Monarch GM02S module and the Click embedded development environment.”
The Monarch GM02S from Sequans is a low-power LTE-M/NB-IoT module with global band support, 3GPP LTE Release 14 compliance (upgradable to Release 17), embedded IP stack with multiple protocol support and +23 dBm transmission power. It enables quick switching between LTE-M and NB-IoT modes. To simplify the development process, the LTE IoT 10 Click includes UART and JTAG interfaces for debugging and firmware upgrades. Additional features include a wake button, reset functionality, visual status indicators, an SMA connector for LTE antennas, and a micro SIM card slot.
LTE IoT 10 Click is fully compatible with the mikroBUS™ socket and can be utilised on any host system that supports the mikroBUS™ standard. It includes the mikroSDK open-source libraries, providing exceptional flexibility for evaluation and customisation. Like all recently announced Click boards, LTE IoT 10 Click features the innovative ClickID feature, which enables the host system to detect and identify this add-on board seamlessly and automatically.
