1.3 Product Overview
The Skywire
™ Development Kit includes one Skywire™ cellular modem, baseboard, antenna,
power supply, and debug cables. The kit enables you to develop your application directly on the
Skywire™ modem
with three different ways to connect:

Connect your PC to the x910 modem UART port via onboard USB-to-UART converter
and send AT commands directly to the modem through PC terminal applications.

The baseboard is an Arduino shield, so you can plug the module directly onto an Arduino
microcontroller. (Kit includes sample sketches showing how to initialize the modem, make
data connections, and send and receive SMS messages.)

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.
