IoT Connectivity
Hardware for Engineers
Just send JSON over I2C or UART, it's so simple.
-
Focus on building the best hardware, not reinventing connectivity
- Pre-built hardware module provides out-of-the-box global cellular connectivity (or Wi-Fi).
- Securely moves data from your product to your preferred cloud apps, and back again.
- Manage data from multiple devices or fleets from a single dashboard.
- Freedom from subscriptions, contracts, and annoying setup, disconnect, reconnect, and other monthly per-device fees.
Simplify Your Security Audit
The Blues Wireless System
- Data encrypted in transit and encryptable at rest using native encryption hardware. All Notecards have a factory-installed ECC P-384 certificate provisioned at chip manufacture.
- Notecard supports end-to-end encryption of your data using AES-256 symmetric algorithm based on your RSA public key.
- Blues hardware is pre-certified for FCC and PTCRB.
- Off-the-internet cellular communications available in 135+ countries. Avoid the need for IT-managed Wi-Fi networks.

How to Evaluate Blues Wireless in 30 Minutes or Less
With Blues Wireless, you'll never worry about monthly or consumption fees.
Each billing account is refreshed to 5,000 credits each month with the ability to purchase more.
Purchase
You can pick a starter kit based on ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or our own feather-compatible microcontroller Swan.
Unbox
Plug the Notecard into the provided Notecarrier, then connect to your existing hardware.
Start
Follow along with our quickstart. In 30 minutes, you'll have a device connected to the global cellular data network, and data flowing from device to cloud, and back to device again.
Tips
- Feather kit and Swan kit contain MCUs. If you want our Raspberry Pi kit, you'll need your own Pi.
- Swan lets you write code in C/C++, Arduino, and CircuitPython. It's also a powerful MCU and ready to run on edge-based machine learning like Edge Impulse. We have a guide for that.
