Since the Internet of Things (IoT) has had some time to grow, companies are starting to realize a large market for slower and smaller cellular devices. A typical IoT system will wake up after a long interval just to send out a small amount of data before going back to sleep. There are cellular modules as well as very cheap plans that can support these systems, one of them being Digi International’s XBee Cellular LTE Cat 1 Module.
The XBee Cellular Kit has everything you need to get started from the development board needed to program the XBee to the power supply and antennas. It also includes 6 months of free service so you can try it out and not have to worry about setting up a plan.
For more information on these products, check out the video and the EEWiki article which will also show you how to get started making a standalone project. If you have any questions, please ask them below.
