Arduino Portenta CAT.M1 / NB-IoT GNSS Shield

The Arduino Portenta CAT.M1 / NB-IoT GNSS Shield is an expansion board that stacks onto the Arduino Portenta family to add low-power cellular connectivity (CAT.M1 and NB-IoT) together with GNSS satellite positioning. It is a great fit for makers, agritech builders, and engineers who need to send sensor data from the field and know exactly where a device is located — ideal for smart irrigation monitoring, remote weather and soil stations, asset tracking, and connected farm or environmental projects.

Key features

• Designed as a plug-on shield for Arduino Portenta boards.
• CAT.M1 and NB-IoT cellular support for long-range, low-power data over mobile networks.
• Built-in GNSS for location and tracking applications.
• Compact stackable form factor for clean, integrated builds.
• Works within the Arduino ecosystem and toolchain.

Typical uses

• Remote field sensors that report soil, water, or weather data.
• Smart irrigation and pump telemetry where Wi-Fi is out of range.
• Asset and equipment tracking across farms or sites.
• Environmental monitoring stations and IoT prototypes.

How to choose / tips

• Confirm you have a compatible Arduino Portenta board to stack the shield onto.
• Make sure your area has CAT.M1 or NB-IoT coverage and a suitable IoT SIM.
• Plan antenna placement for the best cellular and GNSS signal.
