2 General Description

2.1 Overview

The NB-IoT & GNSS IoT phone is like a real phone. It is a cellular NB-IoT and GPS device that can be used

for the 5G wireless technology. The phone has a keypad and full-color TFT LCD display with LTE & GNSS

antenna connectors (or on-board antennas).

microcontroller, wireless modem, keypad, a full-color TFT LCD, re-chargeable battery, and SD card. The

microcontroller is an Atmel's SAMD21G18A MCU which features a 32-bit ARM Cortex® M0+ core. The

wireless modem is BG96 which is an embedded IoT (LTE Cat-M1, LTE Cat-NB1 and EGPRS) wireless

communication module. BG96 wireless modem provides a maximum data rate of 375Kbps downlink and

375Kbps uplink. It features ultra-low power consumption, provides data connectivity on LTE-TDD/LTE-

FDD/GPRS/EDGE networks, and supports half-duplex operation in LTE networks. It also provides GNSS to

meet customers' specific application demands.

The LCD is a full-color, 2.4 inch with

numbers, alphabets, characters, Up/Down/Right/Left buttons, and functions buttons. The IoT phone can

be powered from either a UCB power source or a re-chargeable battery.

The IoT phone provides rich sets of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/I

Indicator) and abundant functionalities. The board offer a high integration level and enables integrators

and developers to easily design their applications and take advantage of the board low power

consumption, many functionalities, and USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux and Android.

The NB-IoT phone mimics real cellular phone and is a rich hardware board that can be used for the latest

5G wireless technology and enables a variety of smart and 5G applications for devices, and acts as a great

educational tool for learning about 5G and 32-bit application development. It enables large number of

applications such as wireless POS, smart metering, tracking, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart

city, and smart homes.

The NB-IoT phone is also compatible with Arduino and Arduino software (IDE). Arduino sketches and

examples are provided with the kit and additional sketches can be developed and uploaded to the board.
