Adafruit Icarus IoT Board V2 - nRF9160

The Icarus IoT board is a versatile and economical solution designed around Nordic Semi's nRF9160 modem, offering seamless integration of LTE-M, NB-IoT, GPS, USB, an accelerometer, and a LiPo charger. This device includes an eSIM with complimentary data for easy connectivity right out of the box, alongside a nano SIM connector for added flexibility.

Maximize your project capabilities with Icarus’s compatibility with the Adafruit Feather ecosystem, allowing you to expand with FeatherWings for enhanced functionalities. Despite its Feather design resemblance, note that the Icarus requires Zephyr RTOS and nRF toolsets for development, making it apt for those with advanced engineering skills.

This IoT board excels in asset tracking and remote monitoring with its embedded GPS and cellular capabilities. The included eSIM offers three months of free LTE-M and NB-IoT data, making it convenient to prototype without delay. Afterward, you can continue with a subscription or your own nano SIM. Ensure constant operation with power options through LiPo, USB, or solar panel inputs.

Please be aware that a uFL LTE antenna is necessary for cellular connectivity but not included. A reliable asset for GPS and cellular tasks, the Icarus IoT board ensures efficient and seamless management of assets, fleets, or cargo.
