Description:
Elevate your Arduino Portenta projects with the Portenta CAT.M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield, a powerful expansion for industrial-grade applications. This shield provides robust cellular connectivity and precise global positioning, making it perfect for demanding use cases. Powered by the Thales Cinterion TX62 module, it supports low-power Cat.M1 and NB-IoT for efficient, wide-area communication.
It also features a multi-constellation GNSS receiver (compatible with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) for accurate tracking. This combination of features makes the shield an ideal solution for developing advanced asset tracking, remote monitoring, and smart city applications that require both reliable connectivity and location data. Seamlessly integrate it with the Arduino Portenta to unlock new possibilities in edge computing and IoT.
