1.2 Product Overview
This documents details interfacing with the 4G LTE CAT 1 & CAT 4 NL-SW-LTE-S7xxx
family of Skywire® modems for Verizon or AT&T on the Skywire Development Kit.
The Skywire Development Kit includes one baseboard, antenna, power supply, SIM
cards, and debug cables. Skywire modems must be purchased separately. The kit
enables you to develop your application directly on the Skywire modem with three
different ways to connect:
● Connect your PC to the Skywire modem UART port via onboard USB-to-UART
converter and send AT commands directly to the modem through PC terminal
applications. You can also connect over USB for access to multiple COM ports.
● The kit is an Arduino shield, so you can plug the kit directly onto an Arduino
microcontroller. Please see Section 3: Common Next Steps for links to example
documentation.
● To connect the kit to a different processor or development kit, a 14-pin header
breaks out the necessary signals for easy connection to any device. The modem
supports I/O levels from 1.65-5.5V, simplifying connection to other systems.
