Ezurio Pinnacle™ 100 Cellular Modem Development Kits

Ezurio Pinnacle™ 100 Cellular Modem Development Kits provide a platform for rapid BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) and cellular connectivity prototyping, providing multiple options for the development of Cellular IoT, BLE, and Near Field Communication (NFC) applications. These development kits include the Pinnacle 100 Cellular Modem, Pinnacle 100 Development Board, a nano SIM card with prepaid data, power supply, a BLE Sensor Tag, cables, and hardware. The kits also include access to a complete Cloud demo environment build on Amazon Web Services (AWS), enabling an instant out-of-box Cloud computing experience.

The Development Kit is also offered in two variants, one with integrated embedded antennas (453-00010-K1), and the other with U.FL connectors and external dual-band LTE and BLE antennas (453-00011-K1).

The Pinnacle 100 Development Board offers several header connectors that help isolate onboard sensors and UART from the Pinnacle 100 Modem to create different configurations. The Development Board can also be physically connected to a PC via the supplied USB cable for development purposes. Headers break out all interfaces of the Pinnacle 100 Modem, and an on-board Bosch Sensortec BME680 Sensor provides environmental data, including air pressure, temperature, and humidity.
