An NarrowBand IoT shield by Shiratech has been added to the ARIS (Arrow Renesas IoT Synergy) platform, available from the distributor Arrow Electronics. The ARIS-Edge-NB-IoT shield features a Quectel BG96 module and plugs onto the ARIS-Edge-S3 board, which is based on the low-power Renesas Synergy S3A3 microcontroller. These two boards combined, enable users to evaluate streaming of sensor data to Microsoft’s Azure cloud via a cellular connection (2G/3G, NB-IoT or CAT-M1 depending on network availability), easily and fast.
