We did all the hard work so you don't have to.
The Notecard is a developer-friendly, production-ready embeddable communications module that delivers data from your device to your cloud service using simple web standards. You'll understand it and see data flowing in 30 minutes or less.
Simple
A wireless module that replaces your modem, it enables simple global cellular communications without AT commands, cellular plans, or subscriptions.
Secure
Standards-based and secure by design, off-internet comms, hardware-based keys and multi-decade certificates. End-to-end encryption when required.
Scalable
Complex and costly IoT Platforms are a thing of the past with zero lock-in. Any web developer can take solutions to any scale using the web toolchain of your choice.
Sustainable
The Notecard is microamp-level low power by design. It's future-proof and modular, Firmware-compatible across multiple radio technologies, and sustaining value across 'network sunsets'.
