Overview

The 453-00010 is a comprehensive wireless solution that combines LTE-M/NB-IoT cellular connectivity with Bluetooth v5.0 in a single PCI Express Key E card edge form factor. Powered by an ARM Cortex-M4F core, it allows developers to host custom applications directly on the module while utilizing its integrated chip antenna for compact system integration.

Why Choose This Part

The module offers a wide supply voltage range of 2.2V to 5.5V and includes a hardware-based ARM Cryptocell for secure boot and encrypted storage. Its dual-radio design simplifies certification by providing a pre-validated cellular and BLE path on a single board, reducing BOM complexity.

Applications

Asset Tracking
Utilize cellular LPWAN for long-range reporting and Bluetooth for local sensor beaconing or configuration.
Remote Industrial Monitoring
Connect industrial sensors via UART, SPI, or I2C and transmit data over LTE-M or NB-IoT to cloud platforms.
Smart City Infrastructure
Deploy low-power nodes for utility metering or environmental sensing where gateway infrastructure is unavailable.

Getting Started

Developers can use the Zephyr RTOS and the Nordic nRF Connect SDK to build applications for the integrated Cortex-M4F. Hardware evaluation is typically performed using the Pinnacle 100 development kit, which provides access to the 75-pin card edge interface and simplifies debugging via the SWD header.

Also Consider
