Particle Muon Development Board
Simple to start multi-radio connectivity
Meet Muon, Particle’s new multi-radio development board designed to simplify and revolutionize connectivity. It's the first and only product to combine a full suite of popular radios-- built into the M-SoM are cellular, Wi-Fi, BLE, GNSS, NTN satellite (depending on M-SoM inserted), and then the Muon additionally brings LoRaWAN and Ethernet.
Instead of dealing with the complexity and cost of managing different SKUs and carrying a variety of products, with Muon you have everything in one streamlined solution. It's a game-changer that removes the barriers to leveraging diverse radio technologies and simplifies deployment and management. Whether it's for tracking, monitoring, or communication, Muon offers unmatched connectivity capabilities in a single, hassle-free package.
Raspberry Pi form factor
The Muon is compatible with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, supporting a wide range of accessories including expansion cards/hats and enclosures. It will enable Muon to integrate seamlessly with a broader range of projects and applications, increasing the possibilities of what you can do with it!
Prototype with the Muon, scale with the M-SoM
Once you’ve built your prototypes and are ready to scale up your operation, you can do so with ease by switching to the M-SoM, our production-grade system-on-module. Simply port your firmware using the hardware abstraction layer on our Device OS and transition seamlessly from the Muon to the M-SoM, reducing your bill of materials & speeding up development time.
Powered by the Particle IoT Platform-as-a-Service
Particle’s Muon is backed by the full power of the Particle IoT Platform-as-a-Service, empowering you to reliably connect, manage, and deploy IoT products with pre-integrated cloud connectivity and messaging, out-of-the-box OTA updates, and included device management and development tools.
