Introduction

The official evaluation board for the SG/ F1 Smart Module, the F1 Starter Kit is your gateway to next-generation IoT development, empowering you to rapidly prototype and deploy sophisticated IoT applications with unprecedented connectivity flexibility.

What Makes the F1 Starter Kit Unique

The F1 Starter Kit integrates four essential wireless protocols on a single board:

• Wi-Fi for high-bandwidth local connectivity
• Bluetooth LE for low-power device interactions
• LTE for reliable cellular communication
• LoRaWAN for long-range, low-power wide-area networking

This multi-protocol approach eliminates the complexity of managing separate modules while giving you the freedom to choose the optimal connectivity solution for each specific use case.

Streamlined Development Experience

Built with developer productivity in mind, the F1 Starter Kit offers:

• Familiar Hardware Integration: The Arduino-compatible form factor and pinout ensure seamless compatibility with your existing shields, sensors, and accessories – no need to redesign your hardware setup.
• Flexible Programming Options: Full MicroPython support enables rapid prototyping and development, allowing you to focus on application logic rather than low-level implementation details.
• Cloud-ready Architecture: Native integration with the SG/ Ctrl Cloud Platform provides instant access to device management, data analytics, and over-the-air updates, accelerating your path from prototype to production.

Your IoT Development Journey Starts Here

Whether you are building smart city infrastructure, industrial monitoring systems, or consumer IoT devices, the SG/ F1 Starter Kit provides the versatile foundation you need to explore, experiment, and excel. From initial concept to market deployment, this platform adapts to your project’s evolving connectivity requirements while maintaining the simplicity and reliability that drive successful IoT implementations.
