Explore New Possibilities with Alpha Micro’s Evaluation Kit Offerings

At Alpha Micro Components, we understand that having the right tools can make innovation faster and more effective. Therefore, evaluation kits give engineers and developers a hands-on way to explore new technologies. They also help teams see how modules perform in real-world applications.

Our selection of evaluation kits helps users unlock the potential of modules from u-blox, RAKwireless and Ambiq. In addition, support from the Alpha Micro technical team ensures that every project can move forward with confidence. Here’s an insight into a few of the kits we offer;

EVK-X20P: Achieve Centimetre-Level Precision with u-blox ZED-X20P

The EVK-X20P evaluation kit allows seamless testing of the u-blox ZED-X20P. This high-precision GNSS module delivers centimetre-level accuracy with integrated RTK technology. Furthermore, it works with augmentation services and connects to u-center 2 software for real-time data monitoring. The kit can act as a base or rover when paired with a second unit. It also supports PPP-RTK corrections through PointPerfect. Additionally, the module receives power and transfers data via USB-C while a coin battery provides backup. A 14-pin front connector allows flexible interface access.

As a result, this kit is ideal for developers working in applications where precision matters. It is particularly useful for autonomous vehicles and surveying, where accurate positioning is critical.

EVK-M10QSAM: Compact GNSS Evaluation for Mobile Applications

The u-blox EVK-M10QSAM kit is designed for the SAM-M10Q concurrent GNSS antenna module. Its compact, portable design makes it ideal for lab work, vehicle testing or outdoor trials. Moreover, the kit uses integrated USB for both power and data transfer and requires no external power source. Engineers can easily access all ports while using its extensive visualisation and evaluation features. Therefore, this kit allows developers to test low-power, high-performance GNSS solutions reliably in real-world environments.

EVK-R4: Flexible LTE Cat M1/NB1 and GNSS Development

The EVK-R4 evaluation kit provides a versatile platform for testing the u-blox SARA-R42 LTE Cat M1/NB1 modules with integrated GNSS capability. Its design allows simple access to all pins and features, with three USB interfaces included for cellular and GNSS connections. In addition, optional adapter boards are available to expand functionality. As a result, developers can streamline the testing and development of cellular IoT applications using a Windows PC and an activated SIM card.

RAK11721 Breakout Board: LoRa® and BLE Made Simple

The RAK11721 breakout board combines the Ambiq Apollo3 MCU with a Semtech SX1262 LoRa® transceiver. It provides a robust platform for evaluating the RAK11720 stamp module. The board includes an onboard BLE antenna and SMA connector for LoRa®. It also supports global frequency bands and allows developers to use a simple AT command set via UART. Additionally, the board can operate in LoRaWAN® or point-to-point mode. As a result, it is ideal for testing LoRa® and BLE applications in smart agriculture, industrial IoT, and other connected systems.
