The new single-board System-on-Module IoT solution includes a
small (79.5 mm x 30 mm) development board built around Wistron
NeWeb Corporation (WNC) M18Q2FG-1 LTE Cat-4 modem module. This
M18Q2FG-1 cellular modem module also provides user application code
support via a dedicated Arm® Cortex™-A7 processor, thus eliminating
the need for an external host processor. A Software Development Kit
(SDK) delivers the necessary API calls to access hardware
peripherals and system resources. Application code built with the
SDK is loaded into the M18Q2FG-1 module through a USB interface on
the development board, eliminating the need for external
proprietary JTAG cables.
A rich set of embedded system peripherals, controllable through
the user’s application code, are easily accessible through a 60-pin
expansion connector or a 2x6 peripheral module header. This enables
easy system customization with application specific sensors and I/O
interfaces through the addition of user created or off-the-shelf
plug-in boards.
“Witnessing the astonishing speed at which IoT technology is
permeating markets, Avnet and AT&T wanted to provide customers
with a development resource that would facilitate the leapfrog
advances in system connectivity and security needed to remain
competitive in an increasingly digital world,” said Jim Beneke,
vice president, engineering and technology, Avnet. “This new IoT
Starter Kit demonstrates the unique edge-to-enterprise value Avnet
can bring to market with the support of industry leaders like
AT&T. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to build
on this platform, paving the way for our customers to develop even
more groundbreaking IoT-enabled innovations.”
AT&T services facilitate cloud-based, visual application
development and production deployment via the AT&T IoT Platform
to simplify device management, trigger business events, and
orchestrate the distribution of sensor data between IoT devices,
existing business infrastructure, and a host of integrated Cloud
services.
”IoT innovation is helping generate a greater level of
productivity and operational efficiency across multiple
industries,” said Mike Troiano, vice president, Internet of Things
Solutions, AT&T. “We are pleased to continue our collaboration
with Avnet to give developers the tools they need to build IoT
solutions that will transform their operations and allow them to
better meet the needs of their customers.”
The AT&T IoT Starter Kit (2nd Generation) is now available
for $109 via the AT&T IoT Marketplace.1
