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.

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.

Introducing the new Notecard for Skylo, the only device available on the market offering Cellular, WiFi, and Satellite connectivity in a single module with data included and no monthly fees.

Notecard for Skylo is an affordable all-in-one solution that includes cellular data, as well as satellite uplink and downlink data with the cost of the device, in partnership with Skylo. Notecard for Skylo offers a JSON-based programming interface consistent with Notecard.

Notecard for Skylo is offered in a single SKU, with LTE Cat M, 2G, 3G and GPRS global cellular coverage, without requiring a second module in a new or existing design. If you use Narrowband today, this Notecard provides an upgraded capability with Satellite failover. If you require LTE Cat 1 bis or LTE Cat 1 global or regional support, the Starnote accessory is the recommended choice.

Notecard for Skylo is compatible with all Notecarriers. See the Notecarriers section for more details.

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.
