2 General Description
2.1 Overview
The NB-IoT kit is a cellular and GPS kit that can be used for the 5G wireless technology. The kit includes a
hardware board, LTE&GPS antenna, and USB cables.
The board is a powerful board that features a
microcontroller and wireless modem. The microcontroller is an Atmel's SAMD21G18A MCU which
features a 32-bit ARM Cortex® M0+ core. The wireless modem is BG96 which is an embedded IoT (LTE
Cat-M1, LTE Cat-NB1 and EGPRS) wireless communication module. BG96 wireless modem provides a
maximum data rate of 375Kbps downlink and 375Kbps uplink. It features ultra-low power consumption,
provides data connectivity on LTE-TDD/LTE-FDD/GPRS/EDGE networks, and supports half-duplex
operation in LTE networks. It also provides GNSS to meet customers' specific application demands
The board provides rich sets of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/I2C/Status
Indicator) and abundant functionalities. The board offer a high integration level and enables integrators
and developers to easily design their applications and take advantage of the board low power
consumption, many functionalities, and USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux and Android.
The kit board is a rich hardware board that can be used for the latest 5G wireless technology and enables
a variety of smart and 5G applications for devices, and acts as a great educational tool for learning about
5G and 32-bit application development. It enables large number of applications such as wireless POS,
smart metering, tracking, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart city, and smart homes.
The board is also compatible with Arduino and Arduino software (IDE). Arduino sketches and examples
are provided with the kit and additional sketches can be developed and uploaded to the board.
