Sierra Wireless / Semtech AirPrime WP76x Industrial Cellular Modules

Sierra Wireless / Semtech AirPrime WP76x Industrial Cellular Modules provide a secure device-to-cloud architecture enabling IoT developers to build a Linux-based product on a single module. This capability reduces overall system complexity and time-to-market. The IoT modules have an application processor running the Legato® application framework, a rich set of edge and cloud APIs, an optional GNSS receiver, and a cellular modem with an ultra-low power domain. The Common Flexible Form Factor (CF3) provides hardware scalability with any CF3-based module.
