Featuring an improved STM32 MCU, an onboard dual SIM capability, and an improved Low IQ power supply, Notecard Cellular is a drop-in functional replacement for original "Green" Notecard at a lower price. Notecard is a device-to-cloud data pump that reduces the complexity of building connected solutions with secure, reliable cellular. As an embeddable system on module (SoM), Notecard can be used with any microcontroller for both greenfield and retrofit projects using your own design, or one of our custom designed Notecarriers. |
With just two lines of code you can send data to the cloud in minutes, with 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 3rd party cloud services.
Notecard is meant to be used with a Notecarrier. Notecard Cellular is compatible with all available Notecarriers. See the Notecarriers section for more details or get started with a Blues Starter Kit.
Ordering Note: Notecards purchased from the Blues Shop will ship with a Developer Firmware Release version pre-installed. If you require a Long-Term Support (LTS) version for a Shop order, please contact Sales for assistance.

Notecard is a device-to-cloud data pump that reduces the complexity of building connected solutions with secure, reliable cellular and WiFi. As an embeddable system on module (SoM), Notecard can be used with any microcontroller for both greenfield and retrofit projects using your own design, or one of our custom designed Notecarriers. Notecard Cell+WiFi allows for dynamic fallback from WiFi to cellular and indoor location tracking via WiFi Triangulation. |
Notecard Cell+WiFI (MB) adds an LTE Cat 1 bis Notecard to complement our existing Notecard SKUs. This "Midband" Notecard provides a step-up in performance from 2G/3G, Cat-M, and NB-IoT without a big step-up in price.

Notecard for LoRa (2.1)—Same ease of use. Same m.2 connector. 100% more castellated edges—enabling product builders to embed Notecard directly onto a PCB for volume production. Notecard is a device-to-cloud data pump that reduces the complexity of building connected solutions with LoRa/LoRaWAN. As an embeddable system on module (SoM), Notecard can be used with any microcontroller for both greenfield and retrofit projects using your own design, or one of our custom designed Notecarriers. |
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 for LoRa now has the option of being on a single-sided PCB and includes castellated edges. This enables developers to use Notecard in any Notecarrier for a POC or Prototype, and embed the module directly into a commercial product for easy volume production. Notecard for LoRa supports The Things Network gateways. 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 3rd party cloud services.
For prototyping, Notecard is meant to be used with a Notecarrier. Notecard for LoRa is compatible with all Notecarriers except Notecarrier XS. See the Notecarriers section for more details or get started with a Blues Starter Kit.
Ordering Note: Notecards purchased from the Blues Shop will ship with a Developer Firmware Release version pre-installed. If you require a Long-Term Support (LTS) version for a Shop order, please contact Sales for assistance.

Add satellite failover to any cellular or WiFi Notecard-based solution for $49 with data and no monthly fees. Starnote for Skylo is an affordable satellite IoT backup device that, much like the Notecard does with cellular, includes satellite uplink and downlink data with the cost of the device, in partnership with Skylo. Starnote offers a JSON-based programing interface consistent with Notecard, providing developers with access to yet another major Radio Access Technology (RAT) using straightforward, accessible semantics. |
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), and monthly device fees even when devices aren’t communicating with satellites.
As an accessory, Starnote 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 the 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.
