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](https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/digi-international/XBC-V1-UT-001/602-1976-ND/6563032).

The [XBee Cellular Kit](https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/digi-international/XKC-V1T-U/602-1975-ND/6563031) 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.
