Support and discussions for the Sixfab Pico LTE and Pico LTE 2. Build low power IoT projects with complete LTE-M development boards featuring Raspberry Pi Pico W and Pico 2 W.
Welcome to the Pico LTE category!
What are the Sixfab Pico LTE and Pico LTE 2?
The Sixfab Pico LTE and the new Sixfab Pico LTE 2 are all-in-one LTE-M IoT development boards designed for seamless cellular connectivity. They combine the Raspberry Pi Pico W or the upgraded Pico 2 W with a robust Quectel BG95-M3 modem.
Both models include an embedded Sixfab SIM, NeoPixel LED, Qwiic connectors, and an onboard LTE antenna, meaning no external components are needed for your projects. These boards are ideal for low-power IoT prototyping, remote sensor data collection, and reliable cellular connectivity solutions.
What’s the difference between Pico LTE and Pico LTE 2?
| Pico LTE | Pico LTE 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Microcontroller board | Raspberry Pi Pico W (RP2040) | Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W (RP2350) |
| Security | Standard | Arm TrustZone |
| Bluetooth | 5.2 | 5.2 |
| Cellular modem | Quectel BG95-M3 (LTE-M) | Quectel BG95-M3 (LTE-M) |
