We're Giving Away Up to 3 Monarch LTE Kits to Use in an Upcoming Monarch Go Workshop!

LTE-M is future proof communication solution for any  IoT platform. Great package. Cannot wait tonsee it in action.

I would like to add this topic in my class, and try to find some hands-on solution to labs.

The kit is based on LTE-M. And LTE-M is part of both 4G and 5G (the same way as NB-IoT), so the answer is yes.

Hi, I would like to learn more about the IoT. Also, I'm tired of seeing weird videos and comments online from luddites and conspiracy theorists about 5G. I think it would be cool to build my  own 5G devices. Is this Monarch kit 5G compatible? Will you create a 5G option in the future? Is the included Verizon ThingSpace SIM card 5G compatible?

Hello I develop applications for the farming and livestock monitoring systems. Mainly to control the air quality in pig farms or chicken coups. The main reason is that both produce high levels of toxic gas via their ***...and in the event of a power outage and if the backup generator does not start time is critical as the levels of toxic gases rise at an alarming rate when they are not vented properly.

Currently i have tried Particle.io platform

Qrcoder1.com.  Aka Deviotcanada

From what I understand.

This kit provides an easy way for LTE and Azure dev.

Would be interested, I've been looking into the field and this seems like a great board (Tariq mentioned it was 1.50/month) with low data prices.

I don't have any experience with this area, so I'll be following along with the webinars even if not selected to gain some knowledge.

I'm interested in this because sometimes your projects need a much further reach than ratification wifi

Very interested to make a iot device which is remote operated food dispenser needed for my friends fish tank

We have been working with NB-IoT and LTE-M for the past three years using chipsets from Quectel and SIMCOM, and MCU's from NXP and ST Micro. We have data plans with Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, and we have local coverage (Palo Alto, CA) from all three. Our target vertical is "Smart Water Technologies" as shared in HydroTrek.com and we have a interfaced with a variety of sensors for water quantity and water quality. Our goals is enable smart sensing for water use in cities and in agriculture. We have sent the NB-IoT data to Azure IoT Hub and IoT central with secure x.509 MQTT.

Our interest in the workshop is to explore the stability and security of the Monarch hardware and firmware compared to Quectel and SIMCOM. Our primary targe markets are USA, Canada and India.

Hi gordonmx ,

I asked about whether or not there was a free plan and I was told that there was not.  The lowest plan is $1.50 / month and for the purpose of the workshop that should be enough from what I've been told.
