Additional Information

    We Solved Cellular Connectivity So You Can Focus on Innovating

    Built with an upgraded STM32 MCU, onboard dual SIM capability, and a low-quiescent current power supply, the redesigned Notecard Cellular delivers improved performance at a lower price.

    These enhancements are integrated into a low-power system-on-module featuring secure ‘off the internet’ communications, pre-provisioned cloud connectivity, and GPS location for all types of fixed and mobile applications.

    Along with these notable hardware improvements, we’ve added a “midband” LTE Cat 1 bis coverage option that provides wideband performance at near narrowband prices.

    And, of course, each device still includes 500MB of prepaid cellular connectivity.

Your Gateway to Intelligent Connected Products

  • 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.

  • Monitor Antenna Streamline Icon: https://streamlinehq.com monitor-antenna

    Harmonized Wireless Architecture

      Switch between any of the 4 major RATs (Cellular, WiFi, LoRa, and Satellite) at any point in the product development cycle with our interchangeable architecture.

  • Pinpoint Multi-Source Asset Tracking

      Dynamically track all your assets with our “best location” feature that aggregates location data from various sources like cell towers, WiFi access points, and GPS/GNSS.

  • Fast-Track Your Time to Market

      Pre-provisioned connectivity and a 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.

Coverage Tailored to Your Solution


The Notecard Cellular includes a “midband” LTE Cat 1 bis Notecard alongside LTE Cat 1, LTE Cat M, and NB-IoT options. Each option is offered in North American and Global coverage models, enabling you to customize your coverage to your deployment further. LTE Cat 1 bis functions seamlessly within established LTE networks and distinguishes itself by operating efficiently with a single antenna, contrasting with the two antennas required to support LTE Cat 1. This innovation reduces unit cost while making them more compact and more accessible to design.
