Airgain NimbeLink 4G LTE Embedded Modem Development Kit 2
Airgain NimbeLink 4G LTE Embedded Modem Development Kit 2 (NL-SWDK2) is a versatile standalone, Arduino-compatible Skywire platform for the Skywire modem that allows for rapidly prototyping various IOT applications. The kit enables easy addition of Skywire modems to Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems with an Arduino interface and for using the Skywire by itself over a USB interface with a host PC. This adapter is compatible with all Skywire modems using the standard Skywire interface.
NL-SWDK2 supports dual antennas via board mount SMA connectors and a flexible interface for Arduino, ST Nucleo, NXP FRDM, and other development platforms. Two Grove sensor inputs and auto power-on provide easy modem testing. With enhanced reference design and Altium CAD files, the SWDK2 is a fast and easy path for adding cellular connectivity to IoT product development.
