The DragonflyTM(MTQ) cellular system-on-module (SoM) is a ready-to-integrate processing and communications
device that offers developers the functionality of a SoM with the convenience of an onboard cellular radio all in
one compact design. Models with the integrated ARM®Cortex®-M4 processor allow developers to host their
application and have access to a full suite of interfaces for connecting sensors or other remote assets. Dragonfly
features an ARM mbedTMcompatible software library for faster development. All Dragonfly software is Open
Source.
Mbed has limited USB support for the processor. Software controls routing to processor or directly
to radio.
The battery management circuit is designed for single cell Li-Ion/Li-Poly technology. Acceptability of
the battery charge circuit for charging specific batteries/cells is to be determined in the end product.
Acceptability of the battery charge circuit for charging specific batteries/cells is to be determined in
the end product.
Radio performance may be affected by temperature extremes. This is normal.
Device has been tested up to +85° C. UL Recognized @ 85° C.
