2 DESCRIPTION The EVK is an evaluation and application development kit for the Murata Type1SC and Type1WG LTE modules. It includes an Evaluation Board (EVB) with an Arduino shield interface which allows the EVB to be used across various Arduino based MCU development platforms such as the STM32 Nucleo-64 boards.
