The Pinnacle™ modem seamlessly
incorporates a powerful Cortex M4F
controller, full Bluetooth v5 and LTE-M
capabilities – all with full regulatory
certifications and LTE carrier approvals.
Develop your application directly on the M4F
controller using Zephyr RTOS to cut BOM costs
and power consumption. Take advantage of the
Zephyr community, Laird Connectivity’s sample
code (cellular, Bluetooth) and hardware
interfaces, OR use our hosted mode AT
commands set.
This innovative modem family also offers
complete antenna flexibility – on-device, off-
board, as well as external antennas – to give you
design flexibility, reduce complexity, and simplify
your overall product solution.
Extremely power conscious, the Pinnacle 100 is
ideal for battery-powered devices operating at the
edge of your IoT networks, seamlessly bridging
the cellular WAN to the Bluetooth PAN. It’s never
been easier to bridge wireless Bluetooth 5 sensor
data to cloud services like AWS IoT over a low-
power LTE connection.
