For use in other locations around the world:
- Follow region-specific frequency spectrum rules.
A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.
The BG95-M3 Zero development board is equipped with BG95-M3 module, which is a multi-mode LPWA module supporting LTE Cat M1 / LTE Cat NB2 / EGPRS. It is 3GPP Rel-14 compliant and offers maximum data rate of 588 kbps downlink and 1119 kbps uplink under LTE Cat M1. Features ultra-low power consumption with built-in MCP as well as the ARMCortex A7 processor supporting ThreadX.
- Equipped with BG95-M3 main module, supports LTE Cat M1 / LTE Cat NB2 / EGPRS networking, applicable across global regions
- Onboard 40PIN GPIO header, compatible with most Raspberry Pi HATs
- 5 LEDs for indicating module operating status
- Onboard Type-C port for easy development with just a USB Type-C cable
- Supports PPP, TCP, UDP, SSL, TLS, FTP(S), HTTP(S), NITZ, PING, MQTT, LwM2M, CoAP, IPv6 protocols, etc.
- Supports GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, QZSS)
- Onboard Nano SIM card slot, supports 1.8V SIM card, and is designed near the edge of the board for easy insertion and removal of SIM card
- Provides tools such as QPYcom, Thonny IDE plugin, and VSCode plugin, etc. for easy learning and development
- Comes with online development resources and manual (example in QuecPython)
