TT Electronics announced the launch of its S-2CONNECT Creo Development Kit with LTE Cat M1 / NB-IoT to accelerate digital programmes. The kit is designed for software developers who are charged with reducing R&D risk and fast-tracking their IoT application development.

The Kit includes the S-2CONNECT Creo system-on-module (SOM), an evaluation board, and accessories, and comes with a 3-month cellular subscription.

The recently announced S-2CONNECT Creo SOM is a robust, scalable, and cost-effective embedded system-on-module platform based on the Linux operating system for building industrial IoT products. Featuring a powerful processor and cellular connectivity for global coverage, it delivers the perfect communication bridge for true real-time sensing and positioning data. Creo SOM offers multiple industry-standard interfaces suitable for a wide range of applications such as automation, asset tracking, mobile healthcare, and broader industrial IoT and is pre-certified for Europe, UK, the US, and Canada.

The Evaluation Board is a tool intended to be used by developers of application code for the S-2CONNECT Creo system on the module board. It features interfaces via drive circuits and connectors, interfaces via pin headers, power supply, man-machine interaction, and Raspberry Pi hat interface.

The kit comes with a USB cable, Ethernet cable, LTE antenna, GNSS antenna, SD card, 6 Jumpers for 2.54 mm headers, and a power supply with interchangeable plugs.

Creo SOM can communicate with any server system via the cellular network. It uses LTE/NB-IoT/ CatM, with 2G-fallback for global coverage. An embedded SIM with (extendible) 3 months connectivity subscription is included.

A Software Development Kit is available online.
