Bring cellular communication and positioning to your Portenta boards.

Overview

The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield allows you to enhance the connectivity features of your Portenta applications. 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 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. Easily track your valuables – across the city or worldwide – with your choice of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou.
 

Key benefits include:
  • Change connectivity capabilities without changing the board
  • Add NB-IoT, CAT.M1 and positioning to any Portenta product
  • Possibility to create a small multiprotocol router (WiFi - BT + NB-IoT/CAT.M1)
  • Greatly reduce communication bandwidth requirements in IoT applications
  • Low-power module
  • Compatible also with MKR boards
Remote Monitoring

Industrial and agricultural companies can leverage the Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield to remotely monitor gas detectors, optical sensors, machinery alarm systems, biological bug traps and more.

Technology providers providing smart city solutions can compound the power and reliability of the Portenta with the Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield, to connect data and automate actions for a truly optimized use of resources and enhanced user experience.

Asset Monitoring

Add monitoring capabilities to any asset by combining the performance and edge computing features of the Portenta family boards. The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield is ideal to monitor valuable goods and also for monitoring industrial machinery and equipment. 

Other Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield options

The default option for Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield does not include GSM/UMTS antenna, you can hook up the board to any antenna with compatible features. However, if you are interested, there is the option of getting the antenna directly from our store at the following link: Dipole Pentaband Waterproof Antenna.

Tiny ML in interactive spaces Arduino X K-WAY Challenge Project
Tiny ML in interactive spaces Arduino X K-WAY Challenge Project
Project Tutorial by fullmakeralchemist

An intelligent device to track moves with responses during an interactive space with mapping, backlight, music and smart sculptures. This project makes use of a machine learning algorithm capable of tracking and detecting moves to identify associated gesture recognition through a microcontroller. Smart sculptures, lighting, music and video projection to trigger with each assigned gesture, creating a powerful AV experience highlighting the incredible potential of TinyML for the performing arts. This allows the corresponding media set Tiny ML in interactive to play when the right move was made because all these elements interact to create a new experience. This allows us to create Interactive installations, these sculptures use a combination of motors, sensors, and other electronics to create an immersive and interactive experience for the viewer. They may include projections, sound, and other sensory elements to create a complete experience.

These projects from CMU incorporate the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense in clever ways
May 22, 2023

With an array of onboard sensors, Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity, and the ability to perform edge AI tasks thanks to its nRF52840 SoC, the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense is a great choice for a wide variety of embedded applications. Further demonstrating this point, a group of students from the Introduction to Embedded Deep Learning course at Carnegie Mellon University have published the culmination of their studies through 10 excellent projects that each use the Tiny Machine Learning Kit and Edge Impulse ML platform. Wrist-based human activity recognition Traditional human activity tracking has relied on the use of smartwatches and phones to recognize certain exercises based on IMU data. However, few have achieved both continuous and low-power operation, which is why Omkar Savkur, Nicholas Toldalagi, and Kevin Xie explored training an embedded model on combined accelerometer and microphone data to distinguish between handwashing, brushing one’s teeth, and idling. Their project continuously runs inferencing on incoming data and then displays the action on both a screen and via two LEDs. Categorizing trash with sound In some circumstances, such as smart cities or home recycling, knowing what types of materials are being thrown away can provide a valuable datapoint for waste management systems. Students Jacky Wang and Gordonson Yan created their project, called SBTrashCat, to recognize trash types by the sounds they make when being thrown into a bin. Currently, the model can three different kinds, along with background noise and human voices to eliminate false positives. Distributed edge machine learning The abundance of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has meant an explosion of computational power and the amount of data needing to be processed before it can become useful. Because a single low-cost edge device does not possess enough power on its own for some tasks, Jong-Ik Park, Chad Taylor, and Anudeep Bolimera have designed a system where
