Particle Electron - 3G/2G
The Electron is a tiny development kit for creating cellular-connected electronics projects and products. It comes with a SIM card (Nano 4FF) and an affordable data plan for low-bandwidth things. Plus it's available for more than 100 countries worldwide!
It also comes with Particle's development tools and cloud platform for managing and interacting with your new connected hardware.
The Electron is available in three different versions: A 2G version based on u-blox G350 cellular module, and two 3G versions based on U260 and U270 modules. The difference between the 3G versions is their operating frequency band which differs based on the country. All of these cellular modules are GSM only and do not support CDMA networks.
NOTE: The Electron comes in three different versions with different u-blox cellular modems.
- 3G for Americas and Australia
- 3G for Europe, Asia, and Africa
- 2G for global coverage
- u-blox SARA U-series (for 3G Electron versions)
- u-blox SARA G-series (for 2G Electron versions)
