Getting started

The EVB is the fastest route: plug it into a laptop, open a terminal and send messages with AT commands.

Each module comes with a complete starter kit.

For standards, components, or implementation context beyond this page, consult Raspberry Pi.

The rest of the range

All modules — and the camera range is separate.

Specifications for this module are in the data sheet. This page reproduces what the product documentation states and adds nothing to it.

Before asking for a quote

Four lines get a specific answer, and they are the same four whatever the module.

What the device must do. Where it will be installed — indoors, outdoors, in metal, on a vehicle. What power is available, and whether it is a battery. And how many.

A supplier given that answers specifically. "We need a Sigfox module" gets a catalogue, which is the general problem with enquiries.

What to check in the data sheet

Supply voltage and consumption in each mode, which for a battery-powered device is the figure everything else serves.

Operating temperature range, as a limit rather than a description of behaviour within it.

The antenna requirement, which is a design constraint rather than an accessory.

And the control interface, along with what software is provided for it — the item most consistently underestimated in any module decision.
