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.

Remote working with Arduino: Alexa and the Arduino IoT Cloud
Remote working with Arduino: Alexa and the Arduino IoT Cloud
May 13, 2020

We'll certainly remember this year, with many of us learning how to adapt and live a safe life-style under the pandemic. As many countries begin to initiate a relaxation of restrictions and we are starting to be able to leave our houses, arrange shifts to get into work (still observing safety measures), we might find ourselves with different needs. Perhaps we got used to having the TV on more often than usual, letting the voices of shows we don’t really watch keep us company in the background while home alone… working. Maybe we just like to have a corner light up with colors which soothe our moods, or give a fancy background tint to a remote disco party as we dress with big shades and wigs. Many of these things can easily be automated using Alexa and Arduino IoT Cloud, so when we (finally) leave the house and are not sure if the TV is still on, or if our living room corner is still purple! we can simply ask “Alexa, turn the TV off” or “Alexa, turn the living room off” and a series of smart devices and software will take care of it for us.Let’s give it a shot... Getting the Alexa skill: Learn how to use Arduino IoT Cloud and Amazon Alexa to interact with your sensors.
