Notecard XP
Notecard-Based Cellular Connectivity, Without Breaking the BOM
Starting at Just $19
-
Tailor made for Large-Scale Deployments
The Notecard XP is a cost-effective, sunset-resilient alternative to chip-down cellular solutions that’s purpose-built for projects looking to scale to thousands of devices and beyond.
It’s engineered to deliver the same unmatched developer experience and pre-provisioned connectivity as all other Notecards while offering increased design autonomy and reduced bill of materials (BOM) cost for scale deployments.
Delivering Connectivity, Tracking, and Security at Scale
Plug-And-Play Cellular Connectivity
Starting at $19*
Starting at just $19*, the Notecard XP can transform even the most cost-sensitive products into intelligent services.
Harmonized Wireless Architecture
Switch between any of the 4 major RATs (Cellular, Wi-Fi, LoRa, and Satellite) at any point in the product development cycle with our interchangeable architecture.
A Suite of Coverage Options
The Notecard Cellular includes 500MB of cellular data and offers versatile coverage options, including NB-IoT, Cat-M, LTE Cat 1 bis, and LTE Cat-1 with North American, EMEA, and Global coverage models.
Fast-Track Your Time to Market
Blues’ pre-provisioned connectivity and low-code JSON interface reduce your time to market from years to months.
Effortless Data Routing to any Cloud
Route data to any cloud, including AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, and more, using Notehub — often in a “no code” implementation.
Industry-Leading Security
End-to-end security from devices authenticated through an integrated secure element to dataflows using encrypted communications and VPN tunnels.
*Based on a minimum order quantity of 5,000 units of the Notecard XP Narrowband North America.
The Best of Both Worlds
The Notecard XP was crafted with a singular aim: to fuse the essential features of the Notecard with the cost-effectiveness and adaptable design of a chip-down cellular solution without forcing customers to design a chip-down solution from scratch, or deploy projects with sunset-driven expiration dates.
Specifically, this means, the Notecard XP is:
- Designed to fast-track your time to market with pre-provisioned cellular connectivity.
- Harmonized with all other Notecards allowing you to move between any radio access technologies or swap Notecards at any point in the lifecycle.
- Accessible from the same subset of Notehub APIs as all other Notecards for effortless data routing to any cloud application.
- Field-upgradeable to protect your connected products from costly obsolescence caused by network sunsets.
- Priced to scale with a minimalist design that product developers can easily adapt to their connected product.
All for just $19
Now ask yourself: Can your chip-down cellular solution top that?
Reduced Unit Cost, Uncompromised Notecard Experience
In refining the Notecard XP, we optimized the Notecard Cellular by strategically removing select components, and giving product developers a menu of choices for optimizing their BOM costs.
Let’s take a look at how the Notecard XP compares to the Notecard Cellular...
What's included:
- Onboard ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 MCU w/ 2MB Flash
- High-performance Cellular & GPS/GNSS Module
- Three-axis accelerometer and temperature sensor
- Secure element with embedded keys and certificates
- PTCRB End-Product Certification
What we removed:
- The radio power supply, tuned to prevent brownouts on the Notecard
- Primary, secondary, and external SIM switching hardware
- Embedded SIM with 500MB data plan
- QR code sticker and individually labeled packaging for end-product provisioning
- Conformal coating of the Notecard to prevent condensation in outdoor environments
With the streamlined design of the Notecard XP, Blues can offer high-volume customers unparalleled design versatility. Each of the above components, except for the external power supply, can be reintegrated into the Notecard XP, enabling you to create a customized solution.

Pair the Notecard XP with our Notecarrier XP
Further optimize BOM by pairing your Notecard XP solution with our Notecarrier XP, a cost-effective companion board engineered specifically for the needs of the Notecard XP.
Given the minimalist nature of the Notecard XP, the Notecarrier XP is the only Notecarrier that’s compatible with the Notecard XP.
Designed as a companion to the Notecard XP, it’s complete with an external power supply, SIM switching circuitry, and an external SIM slot.
