E Series Evaluation Kit (Global)
The E Series Evaluation Kit is the best way to get started with the E Series, Particle’s newest product family of industrialized cellular IoT modules. The Evaluation Kit includes an E Series Evaluation Board with 2G/3G global connectivity, a sample IoT sensor (temperature), and all the cellular accessories you need to build your first industrial-grade proof-of-concept on the Particle platform. Excited to build your first prototypes with E Series modules? Add three spare E310 modules (2G/3G connectivity with global support) to your E Series Evaluation kit using the dropdown above. E Series Product Features Particle’s E Series is a new family of production-grade 2G, 3G, and LTE-enabled hardware that vastly reduces the cost and complexity of deploying cellular-connected IoT solutions at scale. All E Series modules include the following features: - Embedded SIM card, which resists vibration, corrosion, and mechanical failure - Surface-mountable design, for PCB assembly in mass-production - Industrial temperature range from -20 to 85C for deployment in hostile environments - Future-compatible pinout with support for 2G and 3G today and a seamless transition to LTE M1 and NB1 in 2018 - Fully certified design virtually eliminating the cost and complexity of RF and carrier compliance - Built-in compatibility with Particle's development tools, messaging platform, and device management console E Series Evaluation Board Features The E Series Evaluation Kit contains a breakout board which provides easy access to all the pins and peripherals available on all E Series module variants. The Evaluation Board includes: - Physical USB access for flashing and serial communications - Li-Po battery connector for connecting external batteries - Power barrel jack connector for external power - MODE and RESET buttons - Charge and status LEDs to appreciate device state at a glance The E Series Evaluation board contains a soldered E310 module, which supports worldwide 2G and 3G connectivity and can be configured into a 2G only mode. All Particle Hardware is designed from the ground up to work with the Device Cloud. The Device Cloud is a powerful set of tools and infrastructure to build, connect, and manage your IoT fleet. Access to the Device Cloud includes: 3MB of cellular data per device/mo (additional data $0.40/MB for most countries) First 3 months of Device Cloud FREE ($2.99 per device/mo after) Device Cloud Features: - Device Management - Over the Air Firmware Updates - Fully Managed Connectivity - Developer Tools - Integrations Contents: Global E310 module mounted on an evaluation board 3 Global E310 spare modules (with additional purchase) Li-Po battery (2000mAh) Taoglas Penta-band Cellular Antenna (u.FL) SMA to u.FL adapter for connecting external SMA antennas Grove temperature sensor USB Micro cable Pinout reference card Specs: STM32F205 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller 1MB Flash, 128K RAM Cellular modem: u-blox SARA U-series (3G Global with 2G fallback) 36 pins total: 28 GPIOs (D0-D13, A0-A13), plus TX/RX, 2 GNDs, VIN, VBAT, WKP, 3V3, RST Board dimensions: 36mm x 43mm Continent compatibility is simplified and exceptions exist.
