AES-ATT-M18Q2FG-SK-G

AT&T IoT Starter Kit 2nd generation KIT DESCRIP TION AT&T IoT Starter Kit (2nd Generation) provides an innovative new System-onModule IoT solution, enabling the design of cellular connected edge devices, certified for operation in the United States. Powered by AT&T IoT services available through Avnet, this kit provides a complete development environment for sensor-to-cloud applications and services. Designed to be used for both prototyping and production, the slim formfactor LTE system board is fully compliant with FCC, PTCRB, and AT&T network certifications, thereby reducing development risk and speeding IoT deployments. The Starter Kit features a small (79.5 mm x 30 mm) development board built around Wistron NeWeb Corporation (WNC) M18Q2FG-1 LTE Cat-4 modem module. The M18Q2FG-1 module provides cellular modem functionality plus user application code support via a dedicated Arm® Cortex™-A7 processor, thus eliminating the need for an external host processor. A rich set of embedded system peripherals, controllable through the user’s application code, are easily accessible through a 60-pin expansion connector or a 2x6 peripheral module header. This enables easy system customization with application specific sensors and I/O interfaces through the addition of user created or off-the-shelf plug-in boards. The development board also includes an ambient light sensor, temperature sensor, and 3-axis accelerometer for out-of-box demonstration examples. User application code runs directly on the M18Q2FG-1 module, leveraging the OpenEmbedded software framework for Linux application development. A Software Development Kit (SDK) specific to the M18Q2FG-1 module provides the necessary API calls to access hardware peripherals and system resources. Application code built with the SDK is loaded into the M18Q2FG-1 module through a USB interface on the development board, eliminating the need for external proprietary JTAG cables. AT&T services facilitate Cloud based application development and deployment: M2X - a cloud-based, fully managed IoT device management and time-series data storage service for network connected devices, and Flow Designer - a visual IoT application development and data orchestration environment, with run-time support for complex nonstandard protocol translation, data processing and integrations, to help developers create IoT applications fast.
