In the Comments Below: Let Us Know Why You Are Interested in the Upcoming Monarch Go Workshop for a Chance to Win!

If you are interested in LTE-Development the Monarch LTE Development Kit is an ideal starting point. The Monarch LTE-M Development Kit is a cellular IoT enablement platform that features the NXP LPC55S69-EVK and the Monarch Go Arduino Shield. The Monarch Go LTE-M modem component is perfectly suited for a broad range of IoT applications, including telemetry, vending machines, agriculture sensor applications, asset and transportation trackers, hardware tools, and home security monitoring applications. Arduino form factor enables use with NXP EVK and third-party boards. The Monarch Go Arduino Shield in conjunction with the LPC55S69-EVK is enabled with Microsoft Azure and AWS cloud support. The click module ecosystem enables sensors, interfaces, displays, motor controls and more to allow for thousands of LTE IoT development applications. The Monarch Go Arduino Shield also has an onboard VEML6030VEML6030 ambient light sensor and a SE050 plug-and-trust secure element. The availability of these capabilities on board enables prototyping of both motion and secure LTE applications out of box.The Monarch Go Cat-M1 modem delivers the shortest possible route to market and lowest development cost for cellular IoT-connected devices. Unlike traditional cellular modules, this modem is certiﬁed for use on the Verizon network, which avoids costly lab testing while improving time to market. The Monarch Go has an integrated antenna and pre-installed Verizon ThingSpace IoT SIM card, giving developers an easy, cost-effective approach to developing LTE IoT solutions.

Everyone is welcome to sign up and follow along with the Upcoming Workshop. To participate you will need the Monarch LTE Development Kit , activation on a Verizon Thing Space data plan (US Only) subscription https://thingspace.verizon.com/iot-marketplace/, and register for a Microsoft Azure free account https://signup.azure.com/.

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

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.

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.
