The E-SoM Evaluation Kit is the best way to get started with the E-SoM, Particle’s product family of industrialized cellular IoT modules. The Evaluation Kit includes an E-SoM Evaluation Board with 2G/3G global connectivity, a sample IoT sensor (temperature), and all the cellular accessories you need to build your first industrial-grade proof-of-concept on the Particle platform.

The E-SoM 2G/3G (Global - E310) Evaluation Kit or E310KIT features the same form factor as the rest of the Particle’s E-SoM modules and comes with a full set of regulatory and industry certifications to dramatically accelerate time to market. The E310KIT is certified for use with the Taoglas Cellular PCB Antenna 2G/3G 2.4dBi antenna with an alternate antenna option of the Particle Cellular Flex Antenna 2G/3G/LTE 4.7dBi.

Please note: Use of a different antenna with the above modules may violate regulatory certifications and require additional certification. Refer to our antenna documentation for additional information regarding regulatory compliance and certification of Particle modules.

Features:

Particle’s E-SoM is a family of production-grade 2G, 3G, and LTE-enabled hardware that vastly reduces the cost and complexity of deploying cellular-connected IoT solutions at scale.
All E-SoM modules include the following features:
Embedded SIM card, which resists vibration, corrosion, and mechanical failure
Surface-mountable design, for PCB assembly in mass-production
Industrial temperature range from -20 to 85C for deployment in hostile environments
Fully certified design virtually eliminating the cost and complexity of RF and carrier compliance
Built-in compatibility with Particle's development tools, messaging platform, and device management console

The E-SoM Evaluation Kit contains a breakout board which provides easy access to all the pins and peripherals available on all E-SoM module variants. The Evaluation Board includes:
Physical USB access for flashing and serial communications
Li-Po battery connector for connecting external batteries
Power barrel jack connector for external power
MODE and RESET buttons
Charge and status LEDs to appreciate device state at a glance
The E-SoM Evaluation board contains a soldered E310 module, which supports worldwide 2G and 3G connectivity and can be configured into a 2G only mode.
