Template: Pico-SIM7020E-NB-IoT Use
Overview
The Pico-SIM7020E-NB-IoT is an NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things) module designed for Raspberry Pi Pico. It supports multiple NB-IoT frequency bands, can be controlled via serial AT commands, and supports communication protocols like HTTP/MQTT/LWM2M/COAP, etc. Due to the advantages of low delay, low power, low cost, and wide coverage, it is the ideal choice for IoT applications such as intelligent instruments, asset tracking, remote monitoring, and so on.
Features
- Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series boards.
- UART communication, serial AT commands control, multiple communication protocols support, multiple cloud platform support.
- Integrates 3.7V Li-po battery connector and recharge circuit, allowing being powered from an external rechargeable Li-po battery, or recharge it in turn.
- 2 x LED indicators, for monitoring the module operating status.
- Onboard Nano SIM card slot for NB-IoT specific card.
- Comes with online development resources and manuals (MicroPython examples).
