Restrictions apply to this RF Equipment for use in Australia:
- Only to be operated on 433Mhz / 915-930Mhz / 2.4Ghz (check the product description for compatible frequency ranges).
- If operating outside of shared frequencies or in such a way that is beyond low interference potential devices are intended to function, then you have obtained the appropriate authorisation to do so.
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 Particle M524 IoT Connectivity Module represents a breakthrough in dual-network connectivity solutions, combining WiFi and cellular capabilities in a compact M.2 form factor. This versatile module integrates seamlessly into projects requiring reliable, redundant connectivity while offering powerful processing capabilities through its 200MHz Cortex-M33 processor.
Key Features
- Dual-network connectivity with WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz) and cellular (LTE Cat 1 with 2G/3G fallback)
- High-performance 200MHz Cortex-M33 processor with ARM TrustZone security
- 16MB flash storage with 4.5MB RAM for robust application deployment
- Built-in GNSS for precise location tracking
- Compact M.2 form factor for easy integration
- BLE 5.0 connectivity using shared WiFi antenna
- Edge ML model capability for advanced applications
Technical Specifications
- Processor: Realtek RTL8722DM MCU
- Memory: 2MB maximum user application size
- RAM: 3MB available for user applications
- Cellular: Quectel EG91-EX LTE Cat 1 modem
- WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
- Bluetooth: BLE 5 with integrated antenna system
How to Use
Installation of the M524 module is straightforward using the standard M.2 NGFF connector interface. The module can be integrated directly onto a custom circuit board design, enabling rapid development and deployment of connected solutions. For initial prototyping and development, the module pairs perfectly with the Muon development board, which adds additional LoRaWAN capabilities.
Implementation Steps:
- Mount the M524 module onto an M.2 compatible board
- Connect the provided antennas (GNSS, cellular, and WiFi/BLE)
- Configure the desired network connections through Particle's development environment
- Deploy your application code using the available 2MB flash storage
