ema:Play Development Kit for OptConnect ema™
OptConnect ema:Play is an all-in-one evaluation platform for the OptConnect ema line of pre-certified Smart Embedded Modems™
OptConnect's ema:Play includes everything customers need to test and evaluate OptConnect ema as they bring their IoT ideas to life. ema is a pre-certified LTE category 4 cellular modem with a 20-pin interface that includes onboard intelligence that provides all the monitoring, manageability, security, reporting, certifications, and autonomous self-healing of the connect.
ema:Play supports multiple design and communication architectures for interfacing with ema and also includes built-in sensors like temperature/humidity and light detection for enabling simple IoT demonstrations.
All of the necessary software support and documentation is included with ema:Play. Sample code and application notes along with documentation has been carefully written in order to better support designers and engineers in their evaluation and testing.
Without an evaluation kit like ema:Play, customers can quickly get stuck with the burden and cost associated with creating custom hardware to accept and use ema prior to fully understanding its capabilities. The design of ema:Play has been cost and component availability optimized and is intended as a reference design and launching pad for custom designs using ema to get to production quickly and efficiently.
To use ema:Play, all users have to do is plug in the OptConnect ema modem and apply power to the kit. That is how simple it is in its basic use case. This will allow ema to get connected on the cellular network and starts its management and monitoring services.
OptConnect's ema:Play allows users to test and develop their IoT projects and get them ready for market.
