The Boron GSM is a powerful 2G/3G enabled development board that can act as a standalone cellular endpoint. It is based on the Nordic nRF52840 and has built-in SIM and battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy your local network in minutes.

The Boron is great for connecting projects to the Particle Device Cloud or as a gateway to connect an entire group of local endpoints where Wi-Fi is missing or unreliable. It's everything you love about the Electron, with more features like Bluetooth.
