Linkit CORE (OEM – ARGOS/GPS/BLE Tracker)

With its plug & play system, the Linkit Core addresses the new generation of engineers aiming to create innovative products connected by satellite saving you time on integration of satellite technology.
This ready to use OEM board allows you to directly build a GNSS Tracker and Argos transmitter just adressing Antenna+Power Supply part and the casing aspect.
Once powered , the board is ready to connect via BLE and using your smartphone you will be able to configure main parameters for Argos and GNSS (interval of fix , precision , Argos TX strategy etc ..) .
As firmware is open-sourced , it allows you to tune your solution adding any external sensor using I2C or UART interfaces. IMU/accelerometer can also be fitted.

Don’t care about PCB design and manufacturing or electronics procurment issues, jump into the Linkit CORE journey.
