Pinnacle™ 100 Cellular Modem

Low-power cellular to Bluetooth 5 for IoT– Done.

The Pinnacle™ 100 cellular modem seamlessly incorporates a powerful Cortex M4F controller, full Bluetooth 5 and LTE-M/NB-IoT capabilities – all with full regulatory certifications and LTE carrier approvals. The Pinnacle 100 also delivers complete antenna flexibility, with pre-integrated internal or external antenna options such as the Revie Flex family of LTE and NB-IoT internal antennas. 

Develop your application directly on the M4F controller using Zephyr RTOS to cut BOM costs and power consumption. Take advantage of the Zephyr community, Laird Connectivity’s sample code (cellular, Bluetooth) and hardware interfaces, or use our hosted mode AT commands set.

Extremely power conscious, the Pinnacle 100 is ideal for battery-powered devices operating at the edge of your IoT networks, seamlessly bridging the cellular WAN to the Bluetooth PAN. It’s never been easier to bridge wireless Bluetooth 5 sensor data to cloud services like AWS IoT over a low-power LTE connection.
