## Description

The Particle T SoM LTE-M IoT tracking module delivers advanced asset tracking capabilities through seamless integration of GNSS positioning, CAN Bus connectivity, and the powerful Nordic nRF52840 MCU. This sophisticated System-on-Module forms the foundation for developing comprehensive tracking solutions while providing immediate platform access for up to 100 devices.

**Key Features**

- LTE-M connectivity optimised for North America with 50% improved power efficiency compared to 3G
- High-precision GNSS positioning with u-blox eo M8U dead-reckoning (1.8m CEP50 accuracy)
- Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 SoC featuring 64MHz ARM Cortex-M4F processor
- Integrated CAN Bus controller and transceiver for vehicle integration
- 8MB Flash storage with POSIX file system for data logging
- Built-in power management with LiPo charging capabilities
- Wi-Fi location services via onboard ESP32

**Technical Specifications**

- Processor: Nordic nRF52840 with 1MB flash, 256KB RAM
- Cellular: Quectel BG96 LTE-M module with Power Save Mode and eDRX
- Positioning: u-blox eo M8U GNSS + Wi-Fi positioning
- Interfaces: 1x SPI, 1x I2C, 1x UART, up to 6x GPIO
- Power Features: Integrated PMIC, fuel gauge, and battery management
- Form Factor: Castellated edge design for reliable manufacturing

**Installation**

Implementation begins with connecting the module to your custom carrier board via the castellated edge connections. The design requires pairing with appropriate antennas - the [ANTCW2TY antenna](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/ANTCW2TY) is recommended for optimal performance. For development purposes, the module can be integrated with the [Particle M-SoM Dual WiFi/Cellular IoT Module](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE010018) development board to accelerate prototyping.
