Notecarriers are companion development boards designed to make it easy to prototype and deploy IoT solutions with the Notecard.
Notecarrier XS is the companion Notecarrier to Starnote and Notecard, providing a platform for prototyping with Satellite failover. Notecarrier XS includes two M.2 Key E connector sockets and internal connectivity for Notecard to Starnote communication. Notecarrier XS also includes a JST connector for LiPo battery and charging support, as well as Qwiic and ESLOV ports for connecting Notecard to host MCUs over I2C.
Included is a flexible LTE, WiFi, or GPS/GNSS antenna. If you require a dual LTE/GPS antenna, we recommend adding on the flexible LTE+GPS antenna (or you may choose to use your own preferred antenna).
Notecarriers require a Notecard to function. The Notecarrier XS is compatible with Notecard Cellular, Notecard Cellular (Legacy), Notecard Cell+WiFi, and Notecard WiFi. See the Notecards section for more details or get started with a Starnote for Skylo Starter Kit.
