Pycom LTE-M Antenna for FiPy & GPy Dev Boards

If you enjoy experimenting and building with IoT Development Boards and wireless modules, then you will surely have heard of the awesome Pycom LPWAN Range, which is focused on Low Power Wide Area Networking, with each board offering a distinct set of features. Within this range of boards, the Pycom FiPy and Pycom GPy are special in the way that they both offer LTE capabilities, which are incredible protocols designed for constant high-speed communications and data transmission over reasonably long distances depending on the coverage. However, while this functionality is objectively cool, it unfortunately does require a bit of extra hardware, and this is where the Pycom LTE-M Antenna for FiPy and GPy comes in handy.

The Pycom LTE-M Antenna is manufactured and supplied specifically for the Pycom FiPy and GPy Development Boards, and ensures that these dev’ boards can utilise the versatile LTE Cat-M1 and LTE NB-IoT networks without any hassles. This is particularly important because, similar to other radios, if LTE is used without an antenna, it can cause damage to the board or to the antenna port. As such, if you are planning on using LTE on your Pycom Boards, but don’t yet have an antenna to plug into the dedicated port, this Pycom LTE-M Antenna is a reliable and relatively cheap solution that is built to a reasonably high quality standard.
