Overview
Introduction
The Pico-SIM7080G-Cat-M/NB-IoT is an NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things), Cat-M (aka eMTC, enhanced Machine Type Communication), and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module designed for Raspberry Pi Pico. It supports multiple NB-IoT frequency band, 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.
- Communication protocol support: TCP/UDP/HTTP/HTTPS/TLS/DTLS/PING/LWM2M/COAP/MQTT...
- GNSS positioning support: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo.
- Integrates 3.7V Li-po battery connector and recharge circuit, allowing being powered from 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, supports ONLY 1.8V SIM card (3V SIM card is not available).
- Comes with online development resources and manuals (MicroPython examples).
