The kit also includes a cellular connectivity shield based on the Quectel BG96 module. It provides 4G/LTE Cat-M1
(eMTC) and 4G/LTE Cat-NB1 (NB-IoT) support with fallback to 2G/EGPRS mobile networks. In addition, it integrates
a GPS receiver which enables the development of position-tracking applications.

At the heart of the kit is the MCU board based on the Renesas Synergy™ S5D9 Microcontroller. Figure 4 describes the
main board components, the interface connectors, and their purpose.
