SparkFun's LTE Stick Packs a u-blox LARA-R6 for Voice and IoT Data

SparkFun has announced a new board which aims to provide connectivity — for both voice and data traffic — in areas where Wi-Fi networks simply don't reach, anywhere across North America: the SparkFun LTE Stick. The stick includes a USB Type-C connector at one end and a pair of antenna connectors at the other, plus 0.1" plated through-hole (PTH) pin headers for UART serial and I2S signals — the latter supporting voice calls through the cellular modem, as well as data messaging.
