Monarch Go

Monarch Go, connected by Verizon, is a comprehensive modem component offering device makers the shortest possible route to market and lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) to develop a cellular-IoT connected device.
Unlike traditional cellular modules, Monarch Go is certified LTE modem for Verizon's network, avoiding costly lab testing while improving time-to-market thanks to a reduced effort for board design. This completely removes the need to design and tune a cellular antenna as it embeds an optimized LTE antenna, saving months of design effort and lab testing.
Monarch Go comes with a pre-installed Verizon ThingSpace IoT SIM and gives device makers the simplest, easiest, and most cost-effective solution for developing IoT devices — simply plug it in and go.
The Monarch Go Arduino Shield enables engineers to connect their Arduino shield compatible evaluation platforms to the Monarch Go LTE CAT-M1 modem over the Arduino shield interface.
The Monarch Go Pi HAT operates in two modes, SBC operation and Standalone operation. SBC operation enables engineers to connect Raspberry Pi HAT capable SBCs to the Monarch GO LTE CAT-M1 modem over the 40 pin GPIO Pi HAT compatible header.
The Monarch LTE-M Development Kit contains everything an engineer needs out of box to start their next LTE IoT application. This kit contains three key components, a LPC55S69-EVK, Monarch Go Arduino Shield, and Monarch Go LTE CAT-M1 modem.
