This powerful cellular shield for Arduino supports LTE CAT-M and NB-IoT technology as well as multi-GNSS positioning. Its ultra-low power consumption is perfect for battery- or solar-powered IoT devices and it's compatible with almost any microcontroller and development platform.
Plug-in compatible with Arduino Uno/Mega/Leonardo and easy wiring for any 1.8-5V microcontroller like ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi if wired externally
Fully open source documentation and example code on GitHub
Ultra low power with on-board 3.7V LiPo battery charging and customizable options
LTE CAT-M1 and NB-IoT support with integrated multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS)
Items Included:
SIM7000 shield board
Flexible, dual LTE/GNSS antenna with uFL connectors and 3M adhesive
Stacking female header kit (these will require soldering)
NOTE: This kit does not include a 3.7V LiPo battery or SIM card, which are required for proper operation. You will need a SIM card that supports LTE CAT-M or NB-IoT to operate this device, like the Hologram SIM card
