Blues.ONE - LTE-M NB-IoT GSM LoRaWAN Device based on nRF52840, SX1262 and Blues.IO Notecard. Arduino compatible

Description

The Blues.ONE opens a new way into the cellular IoT world to the WisBlock EcoSystem in a new and easy to use way.

The Blues.ONE includes a complete solution with the RAK13102, a Blues.IO Notecard and a WisBlock Base Board and WisBlock Core module

For an accelerated start the Blues.ONE variant is a ready to use assembled device with our Unify Enclosure, external LTE antenna and a location tracker application that can communicate over LoRaWAN® and use cellular connection as a fallback.The location tracker firmware is open source and can be downloaded from our Github repo.

The Blues.ONE can connect to cellular networks worldwide. (Check coverage of the Blues Notecards on the coverage list).

All Blues Notecards come with 10 years and 500MB cellular data plan that can be upgraded based on usage.

Connect your WisBlock Solution through a cellular connection without dealing with AT command sequences and settings for different local cellular providers. The Blues Notecard can be set up and used with simple JSON commands. It includes a GNSS location function and sensors for temperature, humidity, and an acceleration sensor.

With all these features the combination of the LoRaWAN® capable WisBlock Core modules, the RAK13102 NoteCarrier and the Blues Notecard enables the easy development of IoT devices that are not limited to one method of connectivity. The cellular connection can be used as a fallback for the LoRaWAN® network or vice versa.

The Blues.ONE device comes with a Blues NBGL-500 Notecard that works in most countries and supports LTE-M, NB-IoT and GSM networks.
