The EVKITST87M01-2 evaluation kit from STMicroelectronics provides a hardware platform for assessing the behavior of the ST87M01-1001 and ST87M01-1301 NB-IoT modules in low-power asset-tracking and remote-sensing applications. The board exposes the module’s digital, analogue, and RF interfaces, allowing developers to characterize power consumption, network attach behavior, and positioning performance under controlled conditions.
The kit includes access points for monitoring power states such as PSM, eDRX, and wake-up events, supporting evaluation of battery-operated designs with long standby intervals. Standard Arduino Uno R3 headers allow connection to a wide range of microcontroller development boards, simplifying host-processor integration for early prototyping.
A companion software package enables network configuration, messaging tests, and logging of communication parameters. The board is suitable for early architectural decisions on asset-tracking tags, environmental nodes, and industrial sensing devices that require NB-IoT connectivity and long service life from compact enclosures.
