Version 1.7 of Notecarrier CX, our popular all-in-one board, is now available in our shop. This is the CX’s first version out of beta, bringing key fixes and polish from beta user feedback and making the board ready for broader use.

The new Notecarrier CX is also available in the Blues Solution Kit, one of several new Cell+WiFi Kits we released this week.

We’ve added a new Notehub route for Snowflake Snowpipe Streaming, making it easier to deliver device data to Snowflake with high throughput and low latency.

Snowpipe Streaming provides a high-performance REST API for loading data, and this integration lets you take advantage of batching and long-lived channels to efficiently ingest data at scale. To get started, check out our tutorial on the Blues Developer Center.

Today we're pleased to announce the availability of Notecard for Skylo — a first for Blues and the wireless connectivity industry. With Cellular, WiFi, and Satellite on a single Notecard design, it’s the only module to combine all three with bundled data and no monthly fees.

Read our announcement blog to learn more, and when you’re ready, pick one up from our store.

Today we're launching Notecarrier CX, a new member of the Blues Notecarrier family that's aimed squarely at embedded and IoT developers who desire reduced complexity while accelerating their prototype process.

Notecarrier CX is essentially a Notecarrier X combined with a Blues Cygnet in one board, available for only $17.50. This initial version is available as a BETA product. Check out the Notecarrier CX datasheet and then pick one up in our shop.

Notehub now provides a more detailed view of satellite data usage at the device level. From the Usage tab on any device, you can see a breakdown of uplink and downlink bytes, packet counts, and how actual bytes compare to billable bytes.

This view shows data usage from Starnote for Skylo, as well as our upcoming Starnote for Iridium and Notecard for Skylo products. Try it out!

Managing Notefiles in Notehub just got easier. In the Notehub UI, a new Notefiles tab gives you a single place to view and manage outbound, inbound, and database Notefiles for your devices. In the Notehub API, a new List Notefiles endpoint makes it possible to do the same programmatically.

See the new functionality in action in this short introductory video:

Two new Notecard firmware versions are now available: 11.1.1, our latest developer release, and 10.1.1, a release candidate of our upcoming 10.x LTS.

Both versions include initial support for Notecard for Skylo, support for Notecards with Telit Midband (LTE Cat-1 bis) modems, numerous NTN improvements, and more.

The full release notes are available in the Notecard Firmware Updates documentation. To update your devices, see Updating Notecard Firmware. 

A number of new Notehub features are live and ready for you to test today:

• Data usage reports: We've made it even easier for you to track and report on both data and event usage (with trends!) Look for new charts on your device’s Usage tab.
• Watchdog events: Notehub can now proactively alert you when a device has gone quiet for longer than expected at the fleet level.
• There also a new Snowflake route, improvements to how we handle host firmware management, and new ways of testing JSONata transforms.

Read through The Latest from Notehub for a rundown of all the new features.

Today we're excited to introduce the beta release of Blues Expert, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Blues Expert turns your LLMs (Large Language Models) into a virtuoso that understands the Notecard & Notehub APIs, best practices, and can help you build Notecard-based IoT applications faster and with greater confidence.
