Description:
This is a telecommunication HAT that features multi-communication functionalities: NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things), Cat-M (aka eMTC, enhanced Machine Type Communication), and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
With the development of LTE telecommunication technology, 2G/3G networks are fading away; the future world would be dominated by IoT technologies consisting of low-bandwidth NB-IoT/Cat-M and high-bandwidth 4G/5G standards.
This HAT supports global bands of NB-IoT and Cat-M, as well as a positioning function. Due to its advantages like small size, low delay, and wide coverage, it is the ideal choice for IoT applications such as intelligent instruments, asset tracking, remote monitoring, e-health, and so on.
