Add cellular low-power wide area networking and multi-constellation positioning to a Portenta project. The shield integrates a Cinterion TX62 wireless module by Thales to deliver Cat.M1 and NB-IoT cellular links together with GNSS positioning.

Use it to build asset tracking, remote monitoring and smart-city endpoints that need long battery life and wide coverage. The shield plugs onto Portenta boards and can also be used with Arduino MKR form-factor boards, plus it supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou for global positioning.
