🔎 Blues Starnote Starter Kit // Tech Highlight

Building a mission-critical IoT network? The Starnote from Blues gives you a satellite failover system, with 18kb of data included with the Starter Kit and no monthly fee. Use straightforward JSON with the Notecard API to tell your device when to use its cellular or WiFi connection(s), and when to hop over to satellite, with uplink and downlink data provided in partnership with Skylo.

In this video, Hackster’s Alex Glow unboxes the device and takes a first look. See below for our previous Blues coverage, and subscribe for more hardware in your feed!
