Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3144 Quectel BG96 LTE IoT Module Click Board

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3144):

LTE IoT 2 Click is a Click Board™ that allows connection to LTE networks, featuring the Quectel BG96 LTE module, which offers two LTE technologies aimed at Machine to Machine communication (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT). This module is an embedded IoT communication solution which supports the LTE Cat M1 and NB1 technologies, offering an alternative to similar Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) solutions, such as the ones provided by Sigfox and LoRa. The LTE CAT1 and NB1 technologies are designed with specific requirements of the IoT network in mind. LTE IoT 2 Click also offers various other features, allowing simple and reliable connection to these new 3GPP IoT technologies. Type: GSM. Applications: Used for smart metering, IoT networking, remote monitoring automation and control (RMAC), and other IoT / M2M applications which rely on a cellular network connection. On-board modules: BGE96, a LTE CAT M1 / NB1 / EGPRS module, from Quectel; MCP1826, a 1A low drop output (LDO) regulator from Microchip; TXB0106, a 6-bit bidirectional level shifter from Texas Instruments. Key Features: Embedded TCP/UDP/PPP stack, CAT NB and CAT M1 technologies support, enabled for all regions, aimed at M2M and IoT applications, dual SMA antenna connectors, USB connectivity, visual network and status indication, and more. Interface: USB, UART. Input Voltage: 3.3V, 5V. Compatibility: mikroBUS. Click Board size: L (57.15 x 25.4 mm).
