Arduino® Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield allows global connectivity and positioning capabilities of Portenta or MKR board. The shield leverages a Cinterion TX62 wireless module by Thales, designed for highly efficient, low-power IoT applications to deliver optimized bandwidth and performance. The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield combines with the strong edge computing power of the Portenta H7 to enable the development of asset tracking and remote monitoring applications in industrial settings, as well as in agriculture, public utilities and smart cities. The shield offers cellular connectivity to both Cat.M1 and NB-IoT networks with the option to use eSIM technology. Easily track your valuables – across the city or worldwide – with your choice of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou.
