Each AE-CLOUD2 hardware kit includes a Synergy S5D9 microcontroller motherboard (MCU), a tri-mode cellular modem with cellular and GPS antennas, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and various sensors such as light, microphone, temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality, geomagnetic, accelerometer, and gyroscope. For cellular access, developers simply insert a SIM card with a data plan purchased from a local carrier. The hardware kit software allows developers to provision the kit to connect to a 4G/LTE IoT cellular network and their preferred cloud service provider: Amazon Web Services™, Google Cloud Platform™, Microsoft Azure™, or Medium One Cloud. Users can visualize their sensor data on a customizable, password-protected board.
The AE-CLOUD2 hardware kit guarantees excellent EMC performance, having passed global RF emission testing. Furthermore, the AE-CLOUD2 kit meets global regulatory certifications for FCC, CE, RoH, WEEE, and Japan MIC. The kit's fully optimized hardware and software save developers months of design time and resources when creating a scalable, energy-efficient, and secure end-to-end LPWA cellular IoT application that can be used anywhere in the world.
