The Notecard includes a built-in SIM card with a 10-year data plan and 500MB of data, covering over 140 countries — no separate carrier contract required.\n\nBeyond cellular data, the Notecard features integrated GNSS, a 3-axis accelerometer with on-chip temperature sensor, and support for outboard device firmware updates (DFU) via Blues' Notehub cloud service. Communication with the Notecard can be configured over I2C, UART, or USB, with comprehensive API support in C, Python, and JSON.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nBlues Notecard NOTE-NBGL-500 – Cellular module with built-in SIM and 10-year / 500MB data plan\n\n140+ Country Coverage – Global cellular connectivity out of the box (see covered countries)\n\nIntegrated GNSS – Onboard GPS for location tracking\n\n3-Axis Accelerometer – Motion sensing with on-chip temperature sensor\n\nOver-the-Air DFU – Remotely reprogram connected processors via Notehub (select processors only)\n\nMultiple Communication Options – I2C, UART, or USB serial to the Notecard\n\nUSB-C Debug Port – Direct serial interface for command debugging with the Notecard CLI\n\n\nNano-SIM Socket – Add an external SIM for additional country coverage\n\nConfigurable User Button – Programmable input for custom functionality\n\nMultiple Status LEDs – VIO, VIN, AEN, modem activity, user activity, plus WS2812 RGB LED\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nIoT remote monitoring and asset tracking\nCellular-connected sensor networks\nGPS tracking and geofencing applications\nMicroMod-based field-deployed devices\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nCellular Module – Blues Notecard NOTE-NBGL-500\n\nData Plan – 10-year, 500MB (included)\n\nAntenna Connectors – 2× U.FL (cellular + GNSS)\n\nMicroMod Connector – 1× M.2\n\nUSB – 1× USB Type-C (Notecard serial interface)\n\nI/O Voltage – 3.3V\n\nSolder Jumpers – SHLD, VIO_LED, PWR_LED, AUX_EN_LED, RGB, ANT_PWR, WP, MEAS\n\n\n\nNote: Antennas, MicroMod Processor Board, and Main Board are sold separately.
