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/.

  • Tariq,

     

    These workshops sound very interesting, but I do have a question.  It seems that whether you buy the kit or earn one in the giveaway, the Verizon SIM card is included, but not the data plan.  Is it possible to signup for a free 2-month trial of a connectivity data plan?  This should get us through the 3 workshop and a little more.  Merry Christmas.

     

    Stay Safe & Well,

  • I find it very cool and I love to learn more about it

  • I am very much interested,

    My major speacialisation is Internet of Things Engineering but I have not been able to make much progress.

    I would love to participate in this workshop and further my IoT journey with LTE-Development

     

    I'm currently in Middler year of my BSc. Computer Sciences in the University of Lagos.

  • I would like to participate, because at work we develop vehicle tracking units with 2G modules and still waiting, which technology to use next. There are still no definitive plans to switch off 2G in most countries in EU. 3G has now worse coverage than 2G/4G and 5G is a not so close future (and LTE-M should be part of 5G). It is currently very hard to build a product usable in the whole Europe. However, there is no LTE-M coverage in Czech Republic at the moment (one service provider has two testing base stations that can be activated upon request). So it will be interesting to see, how the situation evolves in the future - customers don't want to adopt a technology that has no broad international coverage and service providers want to get their network investments back so they don't rush implementing something that wouldn't be used extensively.

     

    EDIT: I clarified that I meant developing units with 2G modules (both HW and FW development). I also added that I am describing situation in the Czech Republic (with mentions to EU).
