Sequans Calliope™ 2 Kits w/Soracom Cellular Connectivity
Sequans Calliope™ 2 GC02S1 Kits with Soracom Cellular Connectivity enable developers to evaluate LTE Cat 1bis connectivity with faster network access out of the box. The kits include a Soracom SIM with global cellular connectivity, up to 3 months of service, and an embedded Ignion® antenna with an antenna tuner to help users activate and test cellular operation quickly.
The Sequans Calliope 2 GC02S1 Kits are available in European and North American variants and support PC connection via USB or direct MCU connection through the UART port on the header pins. The EVKs also provide access to module interfaces for development and testing, support power measurement on the cellular module, and allow developers to evaluate a rich set of AT commands compatible with other Sequans platforms.
The kits are ideal for asset trackers, telematics, security and alarm systems, payment systems, smart meters, smart city lighting and parking, healthcare devices, industrial monitors, and smart home or consumer electronics devices. The bundled Soracom connectivity features SIM management, secure routing, direct-to-cloud integration, usage monitoring, and activation support for users moving from lab testing to production IoT deployments.
