WisLTE (Quectel BG96 based) NBiot Arduino friendly single board computer RAK8214 - supports LTE Cat M1,CatNB1 and EGPRS module

WisLTE - The first BG96 LTE Arduino Friendly Board

• Base on Quectel BG96
• Support LTE Cat M1 & Cat NB 1 & EGPRS Module
• Arduino Shield Compatible

Embedded IoT wireless communication module without receive diversity. It supports LTE-TDD and half-duplex LTE-FDD wireless communication, which provides data connectivity on LTE-TDD/FDD networks. It also provides GNSS1 and voice2 functionalities to meet customers' specific application demands.

WisLTE development board is based on Quectel launched a new generation of IoT module BG96. 

With cost-effective SMT form factor of 22.5mm x 26.5mm x 2.3mm and high integration level, BG96 enables integrators and developers to easily design their applications and take advantage from the module's low power consumption and mechanical intensity. Its advanced LGA package allows fully automated manufacturing for high volume applications. 

LTE Cat M1 and Cat NB1 module

A maximum data rate of 375kbps downlink and uplink. It features ultra-low power consumption and provides pin to pin compatibility with Qectel LTE module EG91 CAT NB1 (NBIoT) module BC95, UMTS/HSPA modules UG95/UG96 and GSM/GPRS module M95

Introducing: NB-IoT for everyone

What is Narrowband IoT?

Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technology specifically designed for the IoT and connects devices efficiently on existing mobile networks. It can be seen as a far more superior and future proof replacement for 2G data communications for devices that is commonly known as M2M (machine to machine). We believe it will open up a wide variety of new types of applications from which no only many industries and businesses, but also society in general will profit.

You can use BN-IoT to send small amounts of 2 way data, securely and reliably. It is designed to have very low power consumption and deep penetration into buildings resulting in a secure, stable and robust communication network for devices like smart sensors such as room occupancy monitors.

Traditional cellular networks are not optimised for applications that only transmit small amounts of data and don't offer power saving capabilities, which makes these unsuitable for inexpensive devices that require battery lives of several years. Since NB-IoT operates in the licensed spectrum of the telecom operators, it is secure and reliable providing guaranteed quality of service.
