Your gateway to seamless IoT integration

PRIZM Core Neo is a compact 40 × 40 mm IoT controller board built for fast development and reliable deployment of connected devices. It combines a dual-core ESP32-S3 processor, LTE Cat. 1 bis cellular and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, onboard sensors, and a flexible 2 × 20 pin expansion header — so you can go from prototype to production without changing platforms.

Applications are deployed and updated over the air through the PRIZM cloud, and every cellular board ships ready to connect: a pre-provisioned SIM and a 500 MB data plan valid for 10 years are included in the box.

Why Core Neo

  • Connect anywhere — Global LTE Cat. 1 bis cellular plus 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so your product stays online whether or not local Wi-Fi is available.
  • Online out of the box — Includes a SIM and a 10-year, 500 MB data plan. No carrier contract to set up.
  • Update over the air — Deploy and update firmware remotely through the PRIZM cloud. No physical access required after install.
  • Build fast — A 2 × 20 pin expansion header and a Qwiic-compatible I²C connector let you snap in sensors and carrier boards in minutes.
  • Small footprint — A 40 × 40 mm body drops into space-constrained enclosures.
  • Rugged — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operation.

Key features

  • ESP32-S3 dual-core main processor
  • 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (PCB antenna) and global LTE Cat. 1 bis cellular
  • Onboard LIS2DH12TR 3-axis accelerometer and RV-3028-C7 real-time clock with backup battery
  • Qwiic-compatible I²C connector (works with SparkFun Qwiic and Adafruit STEMMA QT boards)
  • USB-C power input with priority power multiplexer (USB-C or VIN header)
  • Cloud-based over-the-air (OTA) application deployment
  • 2 × 20 pin, 2 mm-pitch expansion header (3.3 V logic)
  • Compact 40 × 40 mm board body

Applications

  • Remote asset & environmental monitoring — Sensors in the field that report over cellular where there’s no Wi-Fi.
  • Connected product prototyping — A production-ready base for startups and hardware teams building their first cellular device.
  • Fleet & equipment tracking — Onboard accelerometer plus RTC for motion and time-stamped events.
  • Smart infrastructure & industrial sensing — Rugged −40 °C to +85 °C operation for outdoor and industrial installs.
  • OTA-managed device fleets — Deploy once, then push firmware updates to the whole fleet through the PRIZM cloud.

FAQ

Does the cellular board need a data plan or SIM setup?
No. Each cellular board ships with a pre-provisioned SIM and a 500 MB data plan valid for 10 years. It’s online out of the box.

Is an LTE antenna included?
Yes. An IPEX 1 / U.FL LTE antenna is included. Attach it before using cellular communication.

How do I load and update my application?
Applications are deployed and updated over the air through the PRIZM cloud, so no physical access is needed after installation. USB-C can also be used for firmware recovery, debugging, or serial console access when required.

Can I use it without cellular?
Yes — the board also has 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi-only variants (without the cellular module) are available upon request.

What sensors can I connect?
The Qwiic-compatible I²C connector works with the wide range of SparkFun Qwiic and Adafruit STEMMA QT sensor boards. Check for I²C address conflicts with the onboard accelerometer (0x18) and RTC (0x52).

What power supply should I use?
A stable 5 V supply. For the cellular model, use at least 2 A to ensure stable operation during LTE network registration and data transmission.
