Particle Argon, Boron and Xenon development kits

Particle offers a range of next-generation cloud-connected development kits with mesh-enabled networking, making it possible to extend the user’s sensor mesh network and get their devices connected to cloud, over Wi-Fi or cellular networks, in minutes. Particle IoT platforms offer everything needed to create a robust and securely connected IoT product, from device to cloud, with seamless transition from prototype to global deployment with Device Cloud hosted infrastructure.

Particle offers three development kits, giving different connectivity options to the Particle Device Cloud: cellular (Boron), Wi-Fi (Argon) and mesh (Xenon). All are based on the Nordic nRF52840 and have built-in battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy a local network in minutes.

The Argon is a powerful Wi-Fi-enabled development board that can act as either a standalone Wi-Fi endpoint or Wi-Fi-enabled gateway for Particle Mesh networks. It is suitable for connecting existing projects to the Particle Device Cloud or as a gateway to connect an entire group of local endpoints.

The Boron LTE is a powerful LTE CAT-M1/NB1-enabled development kit that can act as either a standalone cellular endpoint or LTE-enabled gateway for Particle Mesh networks. It is suitable for connecting existing projects to the Particle Device Cloud or as a gateway to connect an entire group of local endpoints where Wi-Fi is missing or unreliable.

The Xenon is a mesh-enabled development board that can act as either an endpoint or a repeater within a Particle Mesh network. It is mesh only and designed to function as the endpoint of an IoT network. It is suitable for connecting sensors, motors, pumps and valves. It can be paired with an Argon or Boron gateway to transfer data into the Device Cloud.
