SparkFun Blues Wireless MicroMod Starter Kit

A complete starter kit for building cellular-connected IoT projects using the SparkFun MicroMod ecosystem and Blues Wireless Notecard. The kit includes everything needed to get connected — processor, carrier board, cellular modem with built-in SIM, antennas, accelerometer, and cables.

The Blues Notecard (NOTE-NBGL-500) is a unique cellular module with a built-in SIM card that includes a 10-year data subscription (500 MB). It also integrates GPS, a 3-axis accelerometer, and an on-chip temperature sensor, simplifying IoT deployments that need location tracking and environmental awareness.
