The B SoM is our flagship IoT module for cellular-connected products. It runs on the Particle IoT Platform-as-a-Service — included for free for your first 100 devices — and includes a free global embedded SIM card and data plan. Optimized for mass production and scale, the B SoM is designed to be integrated directly into your circuit board design, plugging a M.2 NGFF connector on your board, allowing the module to be changed or upgraded easily.

The B524 SoM supports global cellular IoT deployments around the world. The B524 is built on LTE CAT1, a globally available and mature LTE technology designed specifically for IoT devices with 50% the power consumption of 3G. In addition to LTE CAT1, the B524 also comes equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and full 2G/3G fallback, making it an ideal solution for navigating increasingly disruptive 2G/3G network sunset initiatives.
