Technical Specification
The Monarch Go Arduino Shield is a cellular IoT enablement platform featuring the Sequans Monarch Go modem. This shield is an ideal starting point for LTE IoT application development. The production-certified Monarch Go modem is end application certified allowing for easy transition from development to production.Product Brief (Datasheet)
Out of box, the Monarch Go Arduino Shield in conjunction with the LPC55S69- EVK is enabled with Microsoft Azure and AWS cloud support. This includes an Azure IoT Central and Avnet IoTConnect cloud example. Having these examples available for user development out of box will save the user hundreds of hours in application development cost in addition to providing a time-to market advantage.
In addition to providing Monarch Go LTE connectivity, the Monarch Go Arduino Shield is fitted with a MikroElektronika shuttle click expansion connector for click module ecosystem enablement. The click module ecosystem enables over 700 3.3V I/O, I2C, SPI, UART and GPIO-based click modules. This 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 VEML6030 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.
