Dev kit for LTE IoT eliminates certification process
The Digi XBee 3 Global GNSS LTE CAT 1 development kit can help engineers accelerate time to market and quickly integrate LTE cellular into devices and applications, eliminating the FCC and carrier end device certification process.
The kit is available from Mouser Electronics and includes the Digi XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 embedded modem and is pre-loaded with three months of pre-activiated cellular data service. The modem provides the flexibility to switch between multiple frequencies and wireless protocols as needed. These pre-certified Global LTE Cat 1 modules are suitable for moderate bandwidth (typically less than 25Mbyte per month) and low cost IoT applications, advised the company.
Pairing Digi Remote Manager with the XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 modem allows users to configure and control the modem from a central platform. The built-in Digi TrustFence security, identity, and data privacy features use multiple control layers to protect against new and evolving cyber threats.
Onboard templates can prototype cellular integration while the full suite of standard Digi XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython, and Digi XCTU allows users to seamlessly transition to this embedded modem with only minor software adjustments, said Mouser. Standard XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython, and XCTU simplify setup, configuration, testing and adding or changing functionality.
