Dragino NarrowBand IoT Shield (Quectel BC95-G)

• Dragino NarrowBand IoT Shield (Quectel BC95-G)
• Support different NB-IoT Bands to be used worldwide
• Uses AT command to control
• Is compatible with Arduino Leonardo, Uno, Mega2560, etc.

The Dragino NarrowBand IoT Shield (Quectel BC95-G) is a standards-based low power wide area (LPWA) technology developed to enable a wide range of new IoT devices and services.

NB-IoT significantly improves the power consumption of user devices, system capacity, and spectrum efficiency, especially in deep coverage. The battery life of more than 10 years can be supported for a wide range of use cases.

New physical layer signals and channels are designed to meet the demanding requirement of extended coverage – rural and deep indoors – and ultra-low device complexity.

The initial cost of the NB-IoT modules is expected to be comparable to GSM/GPRS. The underlying technology is however much simpler than today’s GSM/GPRS and its cost is expected to decrease rapidly as demand increases.

NB-IoT Shield is an expansion board for Arduino to add NB-IoT technology. With NB-IoT Shield and Arduino, user can study/evaluate and do POC for NB-IoT solution rapidly.
