DATASHEET

Main Features

The Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield brings cellular communication and localization on the Portenta H7 boards. The shield leverages a Cinterion TX62 wireless module designed for highly efficient, low-power IoT applications to deliver optimized bandwidth and performance. To use the GNSS functions you will need an antenna like this one.

Low power global community

NB-IoT and Cat-M1 are both 3GPP standardized technologies built on next generation network architecture for low power IoT connectivity.

Portenta Form Factor

The Portenta Cat.M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield has been specifically designed to provide reliable connectivity to the Portenta family of boards for a wide range of telemetry applications.

3GPP

Gain direct access to the TX62 hardware using the various pads provided on the shield.
