System Components
Notecard
Notecards are plug-and-play embeddable wireless System-on-Modules. Notecards come pre-certified with embedded data plans and SIMs, without any per-device monthly fees or minimums. Choose from LTE Cat 1, LTE Cat 1 bis, LTE Cat M, 3G, 2G, LoRaWAN, and WiFi, along with Skylo GEO satellite connectivity.
Notehub
Notehub is an enterprise-grade cloud orchestration layer that provides data routing along with device and fleet management tools. Easily shape, transform and stream data to the cloud service of your choice and manage your connected products independent of wireless technology. Notehub supports extensive JSON APIs.
Starnote
Starnotes are plug-and-play embeddable companion wireless System-on-Modules that augment Notecards with satellite connectivity. Starnotes come pre-certified with embedded data plans, without any per-device monthly fees or minimums. Choose between Iridium LEO and Skylo GEO satellite connectivity.
Notecarrier
Notecarriers are companion project accelerator boards that make it easy to prototype and deploy connected products using Notecard. They can be used solely for development or (in some cases) can be integrated directly into production designs. Choose from designs suitable for different MCU, sensor and Notecard / Starnote SKUs.
