Introducing the new Notecard for LoRa (2.1). Same ease of use. Same m.2 connector. 100% more castellated edges—enabling product builders to embed the Notecard directly onto a PCB for volume production.
The 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), the Notecard can be used with any microcontroller for both greenfield and retrofit projects using your own design, or one of our custom designed Notecarriers.
The Notecard for LoRa is a lower-cost version of the cellular-based Notecards for LoRa only, and is API-compatible with the 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 the Notecard in any Notecarrier for a POC or Prototype, and embed the module directly into a commercial product for easy volume production. The 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 the 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 the Notecard using Serial or I2C.
The 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, the Notecard is meant to be used with a Notecarrier. The Notecard for LoRa is compatible with all Notecarriers except the Notecarrier XS. See the Notecarriers section for more details or get started with a Blues Starter Kit.
