Product Description

The new Asset Tracker v2 shield has new improvements and features over the first versions. It has improved GPS performance, has a smaller enclosure for space-constrained tracking application, is expandable with Grove, Seeed's huge library of sensors and firmware libraries, capable of receiving 3 GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) concurrently, and has added low noise amplifier and a bandpass filter for improved performances with the on-board antenna.

This is the Global 2G version. If you're looking for the 3G Europe/Asia/Africa (900/1800/2100 MHz) version, click HERE or if you're looking for the Americas/Australia version, click HERE.
