POEM Technology’s IoTa

The IoTa is POEM's development platform for CAT-M and NB/IoT bands worldwide. The IoTa is a fully open source reference design and prototyping platform for developers to rapidly test and move applications to market. The IoTa makes connectivity simple and enables embedded applications to access peripherals and sensors through an array of GPIO pins and serial interfaces. The on-board microcontrollers implement user and system functions separately for ease of development. Battery management includes charging and fuel gauge functions, making the IoTa ideal for low power applications. Each IoTa includes a sim card from Hologram to get you connected immediately. Hologram also offers a free developer account to test your design and develop your portal. Features: (see the data sheet for detailed pin usage and configuration)
