- Soracom IoT SIM: Provides LTE Cat-M1 (LTE-M) connectivity allowing you to transmit data from the Spresense to the cloud over a secure cellular connection.
- $10 Soracom Connectivity Coupon: So that you can test your prototype and send a good volume of data to the cloud without incurring additional fees
Spresense Features
The Spresense has been designed to provide a versatile IoT development experience capable of supporting a range of use cases. Some examples include:
- A drone utilizing the Spresense’s internal GPS and high-performance processor.
- A smart speaker utilizing hi-res audio recording and playback, as well as the built-in class D amplifier.
- A low-power time-lapse camera utilizing the dedicated 8-bit parallel camera interface.
The Spresense is powered by Sony’s CXD5602 microcontroller, which runs on 6 ARM Cortex-M4F cores with a clock speed of up to 156MHz. Due to the Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FD-SOI) production process, the CXD5602 is capable of remarkable energy efficiency, making it ideal for IoT applications reliant on batteries.
