Portenta CAT.M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield

The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield is a powerful extension for Portenta boards, designed to enhance connectivity features for IoT applications. It uses Thales' Cinterion TX62 wireless module for efficient, low-power IoT applications, offering optimized bandwidth and performance.

This shield is ideal for asset tracking and remote monitoring in industrial environments, agriculture, public utilities and smart cities. It provides cellular connectivity to Cat.M1 and NB-IoT networks, and supports multiple satellite navigation systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou.

Important benefits are:

• Switch connectivity without changing the board.
• Add NB-IoT, CAT.M1 and positioning capabilities to any Portenta product.
• Possibility to create a small multiprotocol router (WiFi - BT + NB-IoT/CAT.M1).
• Reduces communication bandwidth requirements in IoT applications.
• Low energy consumption.
• Compatible with MKR boards.
