Arduino Widens Wireless Offerings with Two New Boards

https://makezine.com/2017/09/23/arduino-widens-wireless-offerings-two-new-boards/

There are now two new Arduino boards, the long-range radio (LoRa)-equipped MKR WAN 1300 and the cellular-capable MKR GSM 1400.

The boards come in with the MKR form factor that Arduino has been utilizing of late, measuring 67.64 x 25mm. The company says they also offer low power consumption, making them useful for IoT applications such as environmental monitoring, tracking, agriculture, energy monitoring and home automation.

Both boards use the Atmel SAM D21 microcontroller and are available pre-order now.

    Both of the highly compact boards feature dimensions of only 67.64 x 25mm, together with low power consumption, making them an ideal choice for emerging battery-powered IoT edge devices in the MKR form factor for applications such as environmental monitoring, tracking, agriculture, energy monitoring and home automation.
