LTE IoT 17 Click is a compact add-on board designed for low-power, long-range cellular communication in IoT applications. This board features the SIM7070E, a multi-band LTE module from SIMCom that supports the European/Australian region's Cat-M, Cat-NB, and GSM modes. Key features include a maximum 589kbps downlink and 1.1Mbps uplink rate, support of multiple LTE bands and optional multi-constellation GNSS, a micro SIM card holder, AT command communication, firmware upgrades, power management options, and visual indicators for network and power status.
We provide a library for the LTE IoT 17 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for LTE IoT 17 Click driver.
lteiot17_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. lteiot17_init
Initialization function. lteiot17_set_sim_apn
This function sets APN for sim card. lteiot17_send_sms_text
This function sends text message to a phone number. lteiot17_send_cmd
This function sends a specified command to the click module. Application example shows device capability of connecting to the network and sending SMS or TCP/UDP messages using standard "AT" commands.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and logger.
Application task is split in few stages:
Powers up the device, performs a device factory reset and reads system information.
Sets configuration to device to be able to connect to the network.
Waits for the network registration indicated via CREG command and then checks the signal quality report.
Configures device for the selected example.
Depending on the selected demo example, it sends an SMS message (in PDU or TXT mode) or TCP/UDP message. By default, the TCP/UDP example is selected.
In order for the examples to work, user needs to set the APN and SMSC (SMS PDU mode only)
of entered SIM card as well as the phone number (SMS mode only) to which he wants to send an SMS. Enter valid values for the following macros: SIM_APN, SIM_SMSC and PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE.
Example:
- SIM_APN "internet"
- SIM_SMSC "+381610401"
- PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE "+381659999999"
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
