Developing for the Icarus SoM (nRF9160) has never been easier. The Icarus Dev KIT includes everything you need to jump straight into developing your next connected project with cellular connectivity (LTE-M and NB-IoT), GNSS (GPS), eSIM and nano-SIM, 3-axis accelerometer, NeoPixel RGB LED and LiPo Charger, all in a convenient full-featured Arduino form factor.
• Open CPU (can be used with custom firmware)
• Zephyr OS Support

More info
Equipped with the nRF9160 modem from Nordic Semiconductor, the Icarus integrates GPS and Cellular data (LTE-M / NB-IoT) all in one.
The Icarus includes an eSIM with 10MB of free data for 3 months, so you can start testing your prototype immediately (*only in supported countries). After your free trial ends you can choose to get a subscription on actinius.io or use your own nano SIM!
Power comes in three: the Icarus board has input for a LiPo/Li-Ion battery (with charger!), USB, and Solar Panel input so that you can use the Icarus anywhere and anytime.
You can easily install extra components to the extension pins as the Icarus SoM DK is form-factor compatible with the Arduino boards.
