This Board is 100% original & Designed & Assembled in ITALY
Overview
The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield allows you to enhance the connectivity features of your Portenta applications. The shield leverages a Cinterion TX62 wireless module by Thales, designed for highly efficient, low-power IoT applications to deliver optimized bandwidth and performance.
The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield combines with the strong edge computing power of the Portenta to enable the development of asset tracking and remote monitoring applications in industrial settings, as well as in agriculture, public utilities and smart cities. The shield offers cellular connectivity to both Cat.M1 and NB-IoT networks. Easily track your valuables – across the city or worldwide – with your choice of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou.
Key benefits include:
- Change connectivity capabilities without changing the board
- Add NB-IoT, CAT.M1 and positioning to any Portenta product
- Possibility to create a small multiprotocol router (WiFi - BT + NB-IoT/CAT.M1)
- Greatly reduce communication bandwidth requirements in IoT applications
- Low-power module
- Compatible also with MKR boards
