SparkFun MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier Board (DEV-17272)
SparkFun MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier Board (DEV-17272) provides a toolkit to monitor and track the location of the assets. This carrier board is built around the u-blox SARA-R510M8S module and the asset tracker offers secure cloud LTE-M and NB-IoT data communication for multi-regional use. The SARA-R5 supports many different forms of data communication from full TCP/IP sockets and packet-switched data through HTTP Get/Put/Post, FTP, ping, and SMS text messaging. This asset tracker carrier board includes an integrated u-blox M8 GNSS receiver for accurate positioning information.
The DEV-17272 MicroMod carrier board has an integrated ICM-20948 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for nine degree-of-freedom orientation and movement detection. This carrier board comes with a built-in micro-SD card socket for data logging as well as a SIM card port with a SIM card included. The DEV-17272 MicroMod carrier board offers both USB-C and LiPo battery (with built-in charging and battery fuel gauge) power options.
