More Information

What makes the CMB100 development kit different from your other development kits?

The CMB100 development kit features a unified mechanical and electrical form factor. It supports current and future LTE and 5G technologies. The kit simplifies RF design, making it ideal for developers without radio frequency expertise.

How can I develop my IoT application using the CMB100?

You can build IoT applications using the CMB100 by leveraging the following capabilities it offers:

  • Edge logic capabilities
  • Embedded security
  • Integrated connectivity management tools

The kit streamlines and develops deployments with support for FOTA updates and remote monitoring and provisioning.

What hardware components do I need before building my IoT application with the CMB100 kit?

To start building, you’ll need:

  • The CMB100 module
  • A compatible power supply (1.8 V to 5.5 V)
  • Peripherals that connect via USB 2.0 HS, UART or GPIOs

A SIM card and an antenna may also be required depending on your connectivity and GNSS needs.

How do I power up my CMB100 kit?

The CMB100 kit supports a wide supply voltage range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, with a nominal operating voltage of 3.8 V dc. Ensure your power source matches the module’s specifications to avoid limitations.

Is a schematic diagram available for the CMB100?

Yes, schematic diagrams and technical documentation for the CMB100 are available for download.

Can I use the development kit for certification testing?

No, the kit is intended for evaluation and prototyping only. Certification testing should be performed with an end-device design.

What software tools are recommended with the CMB100 kit?

Developers can use STM32CubeIDE for STM32 integration and standard AT commands for modem control.

Does the kit include access to Telit Cinterion connectivity services?

The kit can be paired with Telit Cinterion SIMs and connectivity services for rapid prototyping. Although one is not included, you can order a SIM with the kit and then contact sales for activation.

What carriers and regions are supported out of the box?

The CMB100 variants are designed for global coverage. Please refer to the module variant (Cat 4, Cat 1 bis, Cat M1) and check supported bands with your target carrier.

Can I perform FOTA updates with the dev kit?

Yes, the dev kit supports firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates to test software and connectivity workflows.

What’s the recommended antenna placement for best RF performance?

Use the supplied antennas in a clear area, away from potential sources of interference.

Can I log GNSS and cellular data directly on the board?

Yes, the onboard STM32 microcontroller can be programmed to collect and store test data.
