Icarus IoT Board v2
The Icarus is a cost-effective cellular IoT board in Adafruit's Feather(Wing) form factor. It is built around Nordic Semi's nRF9160 (GEN2) modem and combines LTE-M, NB-IoT, GPS, accelerometer, SPI Flash, USB, LiPo charger as well as an eSIM with free data out of the box and a nano SIM connector. Control, monitor and keep track of any asset, fleet or cargo, quickly and easily using this pre-certified device!

What Icarus is good at
GPS and Cellular data on the go
Equipped with the new nRF9160 modem from Nordic Semiconductor, the Icarus board integrates GPS and Cellular data (LTE-M / NB-IoT) all in one.
3 Months of Free LTE-M & NB-IoT Data
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!
Use the Icarus anywhere, anytime
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.
FeatherWing Form Factor Compatible
You can install extra components to the extension pins, easily of course. Don’t forget! Icarus is form factor compatible with Adafruit Featherwing also.
