Talk to a human

    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

      The Notecard XP can transform even the most cost-sensitive products into intelligent services.


  • 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.

  • A Suite of Coverage Options

      Offered in various coverage options, including NB-IoT, Cat M, Cat 1 bis and Cat 1 with North American, European, and Global coverage models.

  • 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.

Configure Your Notecard XP: Options and Pricing

The Notecard XP is our first configurable Notecard, letting enterprises tailor the module to their needs and target BOM cost. Below is a breakdown of what’s included, optional, and excluded. 

The core components that preserve the unrivaled plug-and-play Notecard experience:

  • Onboard ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 MCU w/ 2MB Flash
  • Three-axis accelerometer and temperature sensor
  • Secure element with embedded keys and certificates
  • PTCRB End-Product Certification
  • Sunset resilient design

All for just $19 

 

Standard Notecard Cellular components that can be removed from the Notecard XP to optimize BOM. Explore the advantages of each component as you configure your Notecard XP:

  • Primary, secondary, and external SIM switching hardware
    • Benefit: Improved carrier flexibility.
  • Integrated GPS/GNSS
    • Benefit: Keeps track of the geolocation of your outdoor or mobile product.
  • Embedded SIM with 500MB data plan  
    • Benefit: Cost-effective bundled data with Global, North American, or EMEA coverage models.
  • QR code sticker and individually labeled packaging 
    • Benefit: Streamlined end-product provisioning
  • Conformal coating of the Notecard 
    • Benefit: Keeps core Notecard electronics safe in environments where condensation is a concern.

Each of these components can be integrated into your Notecard XP for an additional cost. 

XP means “External Power.” To optimize overall BOM cost, the Notecard’s highly robust internal power regulation is depopulated on the XP, enabling engineers to streamline their design around a single unified supply powering their entire product.

    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.

    Now ask yourself: Can your chip-down cellular solution top that?
