Giveaway Week 2025 – RAKwireless Blues.ONE LoRaWAN, LTE-M, and NB-IoT devkit It turns out we don’t have two, but three companies offering free samples on CNX Software this year. The last one is a regular, and RAKwireless joins us for the fifth year running with a Blues.ONE LoRaWAN, LTE-M, and NB-IoT devkit that can be useful for industrial automation and asset-tracking applications. Regular readers may recall that it is the same prize as last year. While I usually prefer getting a new devkit, the company didn’t launch any this year (just some Meshtastic kits). The good news is that if you missed out last time around, you have a chance to give it another go. Here’s what the winner will get as a reminder: RAK4631 WisBlock Core Module based on Nordic Semi nRF52840 Arm Cortex-M4F microcontroller @ 64 MHz with 1 MB Flash, 256 KB RAM, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 protocol stack Semtech SX1262 LoRa Transceiver with LoRaWAN 1.0.2 protocol stack [...] The post Giveaway Week 2025 – RAKwireless Blues.ONE LoRaWAN, LTE-M, and NB-IoT devkit appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

This battery-powered NB-IoT/LTE-M industrial data logger is designed to run for years NORVI EC-M12-BC-C6-C-A (or EC-M12 for shorts) is a battery-powered cellular IoT industrial data logger offering NB-IoT and LTE-M connectivity, 2G fallback, two 4-20mA sensor inputs, an RS485 interface, and two 3.6V/19,000mAh non-rechargeable Lithium batteries for up to 5-7 years of operation. The IP67-rated data logger is built around a low-power STM32L072 Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, and features a SIM7070 cellular IoT modem, a microSD card slot for data storage, and a single 8-pin M8 connector carrying analog input and RS485 signals. NORVI EC-M12-BC-C6-C-A specifications: Microcontroller – STMicro STM32L072 Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU clocked at up to 32 MHz with 20 KB of RAM, 192 KB flash with ECC, and 6 KB of data EEPROM with ECC Storage – MicroSD card slot up to 128GB Wireless Connectivity Multi-band 2G, Cat-M1, Cat-NB1 (NB-IoT) via SIMCom SIM7070 module Optional LoRaWAN support RP-SMA male antenna connector Sensor interface via 8-pin M8 female connector 2x analog Inputs [...] The post This battery-powered NB-IoT/LTE-M industrial data logger is designed to run for years appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

nRF9160-based Minew MTB04 5G IoT shipping label offers GPS, LTE-M/NB-IoT, 360-day battery life Minew’s MTB04 5G shipping label is a durable, disposable smart IoT tracking label designed for global logistics and real-time asset monitoring. Built on Nordic’s nRF9160 SiP and compatible with nRF9151 for satellite communication, it supports GPS and 5G-ready NB-IoT/LTE-M connectivity for worldwide shipment tracking. Its ultra-thin, IP67-rated, and “peel-and-stick” design makes it stick on parcels, containers, or trucks for high-value or sensitive cargo monitoring. The label integrates multiple sensors for ambient light, movement, tilt, tamper, and optional temperature detection, enabling shipment condition monitoring and security alerts. It features intelligent network switching, ultra-low power consumption (lasting up to 360 days with daily reporting), and built-in 8MB storage. Each unit includes a preloaded SIM with a six-month data plan and supports OTA firmware updates through Minew’s TagCloud 3.0 platform for remote management. Minew MTB04 specifications: SiP (one or the other) Nordic Semi nRF9160-SICA system-in-package with Arm Cortex-M33 MCU, 1024 KB flash, 256 KB SRAM, [...] The post nRF9160-based Minew MTB04 5G IoT shipping label offers GPS, LTE-M/NB-IoT, 360-day battery life appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.
