Module COM.NB-IoT CN

SKU:M031-B2

Description

COM.NB-IoT CN is a NB-IoT wireless communication module that matches the China region Cat-NB frequency band. Built-in SIM7020C communication module, adopts serial communication (AT command set control), and integrates SMA external antenna interface to improve the communication quality and signal stability of the device. The SIM7020C module is the best for applications with low latency, low throughput. The excellent solution is very suitable for IoT applications such as metering, remote control, asset tracking, remote monitoring, telemedicine, and shared bicycles.

Notice

When used with the FIRE main control, due to the PSRAM pin conflict, please switch the DIP switch pins of the module base to TX(0/13), RX(5/15), and the device can use USB/ External DC is used for power supply.
When used with Core2 series main control, due to the different order of the base pin array, COM.X base pins TX(16), RX(17) correspond to the actual pins TX(14), RX of the Core2 main control (13) The equipment needs to use external DC for power supply.
