Imagine 5 networks in one perfectly-formed, same-small-foot-print-as-WiPy- LoPy-and SiPy, IoT development board. MicroPython enabled. Featuring WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa, Sigfox and dual LTE-M (CAT M1 and NBIoT) the FiPy gives access to all the world’s LPWAN networks on one tiny board.

NOTE: An LTE Antenna MUST always be used with LTE CAT M1 / NB1, or it could cause serious damage to the development board.
