MikroElektronika has launched LTE IOT 8 Click, a member of the 1000-model Click family of peripheral development boards designed to meet the needs of designers of low-power LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity solutions for use in wearable devices and systems for asset tracking, industrial monitoring and smart energy measurement.
LTE IoT 8 Click is a compact add-on board equipped with the SKY66430-11, a multi-band multi-chip system-in-package (SiP) that supports Skyworks Solutions and Sequans Communications' 5G Massive IoT (LTE-M/NB-IoT) platforms.
The pre-certified SiP integrates the entire RF front-end, transceiver, power management circuitry, memory and baseband modem for a multi-band LTE radio operating in the 698 and 2200 MHz frequency range.
Click boards are based on the 16-pin mikroBUS standard per socket on a development board invented by MIKROE ten years ago and allow engineers to change peripheral devices easily, saving months on development time.
MIKROE currently introduces a new Click board almost every day at 10:00 am and many leading microcontroller manufacturers, Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices Renesas and Toshiba, now include the mikroBUS socket in their development boards.
The LTE IoT 8 Click is supported by a mikroSDK standard library that includes functions that simplify software development and is delivered fully tested, ready to use on any system equipped with the mikroBUS socket.
Comments
Nebojsa Matic, Managing Director MIKROE: "LTE IoT is very widely deployed and we have a Click card ready for most configurations, but if a customer needs something different, they just need to submit a request and we will make the right card. The 8 Click costs just 79 USD, with discounts for multiple purchases.It allows usto get to market quickly, without hassle and with minimal development costs."
