Click board and module add LTE to IoT devices

Sequans has introduced the LTE IoT 10 Click, the newest addition to the extensive click board ecosystem by MIKROE. MIKROE is known for its innovative hardware and software products that reduce development time by following established standards. The LTE IoT 10 Click is a compact add-on board that offers robust LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity for industrial and commercial IoT applications, powered by Sequans’ Monarch 2 GM02S.

The LTE IoT 10 Click is mikroBUS-enabled, allowing seamless integration with any microcontroller or microprocessor supporting the mikroBUS socket standard. This enables cellular IoT connectivity for a wide range of IoT projects, enhancing their capabilities and performance.

Key Features of LTE IoT 10 Click: Powered by Monarch 2 GM02S, a low-power LTE-M/NB-IoT module with global band support compliant with 3GPP LTE Release 14. It includes an embedded IP stack with multiple protocol support and +23dBm transmission power, allowing quick switching between LTE-M and NB-IoT modes. The board features UART and JTAG interfaces for debugging and firmware upgrades, making development easier. It also includes a wake button, reset functionality, visual status indicators, an SMA connector for LTE antennas, and a micro SIM card slot. The board supports power-saving modes like PSM and eDRX to extend battery life in IoT applications. Fully compatible with the mikroBUS socket, it comes with mikroSDK open-source libraries for evaluation and customization. The ClickID feature allows the host system to automatically detect and identify the add-on board, simplifying configuration and ensuring optimal performance.

Developers can now easily integrate reliable cellular IoT connectivity into their projects with LTE IoT 10 Click. The combination of Monarch 2 GM02S’s low power consumption, global band support, and robust protocol stack makes it ideal for smart metering, asset tracking, industrial monitoring, and more IoT applications. The LTE IoT 10 Click is available on the MIKROE web store.
