tools, application reference designs and 4G LTE-M network
enablement for management, storage and analytics of connected IoT
devices
Avnet (NYSE: AVT), a leading global technology distributor,
today announced the availability of the AT&T IoT Starter Kit
(LTE-M, STM32L4), the latest in a series of AT&T IoT Starter
Kits engineered by Avnet in collaboration with AT&T. This LTE-M
iteration of the AT&T IoT Starter Kit, with IoT Discovery board
from STMicroelectronics, reduces the complexity of LTE-M device
development by bringing together all the elements required to
develop and prototype highly secure, cost-effective and reliable
IoT devices connected to AT&T’s 4G LTE-M network. Avnet will be
demonstrating the new Kit at today’s ST Technology Tour event in
San Diego, as well as at upcoming Technology Tour stops across the
U.S. through October 2018.

“With an end-to-end suite of IoT products and services, coupled
with the best available technologies, Avnet can design, develop and
deploy customized connectivity solutions for every
customer. From capturing data at the edge and securely
connecting the data to the cloud, we then work with customers on
the development of applications and analytics that drives
action. This ‘edge to app’ IoT capability is helping customers
take the complexity out of IoT thereby maximizing their ROI,” said
Jim Fusaro, senior vice president, IoT and global design solutions,
Avnet. “Avnet’s ongoing collaboration with industry leaders like
AT&T, ST, Arm and WNC are fundamental to developing and
deploying world-class IoT solutions for our customers.”
The new two-board LTE-M solution is comprised of the STM32L475
IoT Discovery board and a cellular connectivity daughter card from
Avnet, as well as a modem module from WNC, configured for LTE-M
operation, and access to lower-cost licensing options for
Arm® Keil® MDK microcontroller software development
tools.
“Leveraging AT&T’s LTE-M network, this Starter Kit, with its
extensive set of onboard sensors and wireless connectivity
capabilities, offers an excellent resource for developers to
prototype connected IoT devices for even the most hard-to-reach,
challenging environments,” said Peter Fenn, wireless connectivity
specialist in Avnet’s engineering and technology team. “The
hardware and software enablement also addresses key areas such as
security and low-power consumption to cost-effectively implement
IoT device applications.”
Tony Keirouz, vice president, IoT strategy, ecosystem and
partnerships, STMicroelectronics noted that in addition to a wide
array of sensors on the IoT Discovery board, this new IoT Starter
Kit from Avnet brings power-efficient LTE-M cellular connectivity
along with enablement via user-friendly software tools. “Together
with Arm’s class-leading Keil IDE, this offering speeds up the
development and prototyping of innovative connected IoT devices,”
he stated.
“Arm has a vision of a trillion connected devices by 2035, and
we’re working closely with partners to provide the tools and
technology to enable the rapid development of secure IoT products,”
said Reinhard Keil, senior director of embedded tools, Arm. “The
level of hardware and software enablement provided by the
combination of this highly capable hardware platform and Arm Keil
development tools will allow developers to significantly accelerate
the development of innovative, connected IoT devices.”
Technical Specifications:
The Avnet 4G LTE-M cellular modem board features an M14A2A modem
module from WNC, configured for LTE-M operation, as well as an
onboard temperature and humidity sensor, multiple interfaces with
the host microcontroller, SMA-connected external antenna and
USB-connected AC/DC 5V power supply. This board stacks onto the ST
Discovery board via Arduino Shield connectors to form a compact
two-board assembly. A 3FF micro SIM connector accommodates the
provided AT&T Starter SIM for easy connection to the
Internet.
The IoT Discovery board is an “out-of-the-box” cloud-ready
connectivity board for IoT nodes featuring the ultra-low-power Arm
Cortex®-M4 processor-based MCU (clocked at 80 MHz, with 1MB Flash
memory, 128 KB RAM). The microcontroller-based carrier board
functions as a low-power host processor that integrates onboard
environmental sensors, motion, gesture and time-of-flight sensors,
digital microphones, Bluetooth low-energy, a sub-GHz transceiver
and Wi-Fi, as well as Pmod® and ArduinoTM Uno V3-compatible
expansion connector interfaces.
Designing with cloud-based services is facilitated via
AT&T’s M2X Data Services and Flow Designer. In addition, a free
90-day license and reduced-cost, 6-month license are available for
Arm Keil MDK software development tools, which enable rapid
development and advanced debugging capabilities.
Available in the Americas for $139, the LTE-M, STM32L4 version
