Blues Cell+WiFi Kits contain everything you need to start building cloud-connected IoT solutions with Notecard and Notehub. Choose the kit that matches your workflow — whether you want an all-in-one development setup, prefer to bring your own host microcontroller, or need a compact, solution-ready module.

All kits include a “Midband” Notecard Cell+WiFi — a secure, low-power IoT system-on-module combining global LTE Cat-1 bis Cellular+WiFi and 2.4 GHz WiFi in a single 30mm × 42mm device. With just two lines of code, you can send data to the cloud in minutes. No complex device registration or provisioning required.

Blues Solution Kit for Cell+WiFi - $79

New to Blues? This is the kit we recommend most new users start with.

Built around Notecarrier CX, the first Notecarrier with an onboard Host MCU, this compact kit provides a low-cost way to kickstart your prototype, and take you to pilot and beyond.

Kit Contents:

  • Notecard Cell+WiFi LTE Cat-1 bis Global

  • Notecarrier CX with onboard STM32 MCU

Blues Starter Kit for Cell+WiFi - $74

This kit is designed for developers who already have a preferred host microcontroller or single-board computer, and it's the most affordable way to add global Cell+WiFi connectivity to your existing hardware.

Note: With this kit you’re responsible for wiring your host to the provided Notecarrier X. If your host has a Qwiic port you can connect via a Qwiic cable; otherwise, you’ll need to solder headers onto the Notecarrier X and wire it yourself with jumper cables. See our Host Wiring Guide for details.

Starnote for Skylo Starter Kit

$99.00
/
Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Starnote for Skylo Starter Kit contains everything you need to add satellite failover to any cellular or WiFi Notecard-based solution. Starnote includes satellite uplink and downlink data with the cost of the device in partnership with Skylo. Starnote for Skylo also provides a JSON-based programing interface consistent with Notecard, providing developers with access to yet another major Radio Access Technology (RAT) using straightforward, accessible semantics. And with 10KB of data included and no monthly fees, it's an affordable satellite IoT backup device!

Starnote for Skylo is a Notecard accessory that is intended to disrupt the conventional wisdom that using satellite requires a high hardware investment (in the hundreds of dollars) of monthly device fees even when devices aren’t communicating with satellites.

As an accessory, Starnote for Skylo is not a Notecard; it is meant to be used with Notecard, and works with Cellular, Cell+WiFi, and WiFi. From a developer’s point of view, Starnote for Skylo operates as an additional available RAT for Notecard. A developer uses the Notecard API to specify in Notecard’s mode of operations when to fallback to Satellite, and Notecard handles communications between itself and Starnote for Skylo.

Kit Contents

  • 1x Starnote for Sklyo u.FL

  • 1x Notecard WiFi

  • 1x Notecarrier XS

  • 1x Satellite Antenna

  • 1x GPS Antenna

  • 1x 500 mAH LiPo battery

The Starnote for Skylo (Antenna) accessory is an optional add on available for purchase with the Starter Kit.

Key Starnote for Skylo Kit Specs

  • JSON-based API for configuration and communication with Notecard

  • M.2 Key E connector for board-to-board usage and a six-pin JST for wire-to-board applications

  • External via u.FL connectors

  • NTN-capable satellite modem with zero-touch configuration

  • Bundled with 10KB of satellite data from Skylo, enough to send 1 message per day for 6 months. Additional data is priced $0.00075 byte, with a minimum of 50 bytes per transmitted or received satellite data packet, billed monthly in arrears.

Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Blues Starter Kit for LoRaWAN contains everything you need to start building LoRa and LoRaWAN solutions with Notecard and Notehub. Start with a WisGate Edge Lite 2 LoRaWAN Gateway (pre-configured on the Blues Things Stack tenant for out-of-the-box connectivity) and connect it to local WiFi or Ethernet. Then, connect the three included Notecard LoRa devices to the included Notecarriers, place a LoRa antenna on each, and power them up with a LiPo battery. Use the Notecard API to configure the devices, and within minutes, you’ll have LoRa devices talking to Notehub!

Kit Contents

  • WisGate Edge Lite 2 LoRaWAN Gateway
  • 3x Notecard LoRa
  • 3x Notecarrier B
  • 3x LiPo Battery
  • 3x LoRa Antenna

Key Notecard LoRa Specs

  • Onboard ultra-low-power STM32WL LoRa MCU.

  • Compatible with LoRaWAN and The Things Network.

Notecard for LoRa is a lower-cost version of cellular-based Notecards for LoRa only, and is API-compatible with cellular- and WiFi-based Notecards (with some exceptions). Notecard LoRa works with gateways provisioned on The Things Stack. Included is a flexible Molex 211140 antenna that supports both 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (United States) frequencies.

With just two lines of code, you can send data to the cloud in minutes, no complex device registration or provisioning required. With a powerful JSON-based API, you can program Notecard over USB, or control it from your preferred microcontroller or single-board computer using one of our open-source firmware libraries. Connect from your preferred host to Notecard using Serial or I2C.

Notecard is designed to work with a cloud service for ingesting and processing device data. Notehub provides secure device connectivity, project and fleet management, and simple routing to third-party cloud services.

Available Variants

The Blues WisGate Edge Lite 2 is a full 8-channel indoor gateway with full LoRaWAN Stack Support (v1.0.3), Built-in Ethernet and WiFi connectivity. The gateways are pre-provisioned on the Blues Things Stack Tenant to enable out-of-the-box connectivity for Notecard LoRa. See the Blues WisGate Edge Lite 2 product page or RAKWireless documentation for additional details.

Notecarrier B is a small form-factor Notecarrier, only slightly larger than Notecard itself. Unlike other Notecarriers, Notecarrier B does not include an external SIM slot. It includes a Qwiic port for connecting I2C peripherals.

The flexible LoRa antenna has a supported frequency range of 868-870 MHz and 902-928 MHz with a u.FL terminator.
