Official Arduino MKR NB 1500 GSM Board
The Official Arduino MKR NB 1500 Board is a powerful IoT development platform designed to enable wireless connectivity using Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) technology.
Utilizing existing LTE cellular infrastructure, NB-IoT provides faster, and more energy-efficient communication compared to other IoT networks like LoRa and Sigfox, while significantly reducing battery consumption.
The board is powered by a low-power Microchip SAMD21 Cortex-M0 32-bit ARM MCU and maintains the Official Arduino MKR footprint for seamless compatibility with Arduino Uno, Mega, and other MKR series boards.
It operates at 3.3V and offers versatile connectivity through I2C, I2S, UART, and SPI interfaces, along with 22 digital I/O pins, 12 PWM outputs, and 7 analog inputs.
Engineered for deployment in remote or infrastructure-limited environments, the MKR NB 1500 is ideal for a wide range of applications, including remote monitoring, smart metering, industrial automation, asset tracking, smart cities, and connected health devices.
