What Hacker News says?
I thought that board looked interesting. Looks like a $50 cellular board, includes 500MB of data over 10 years (though with missing fineprint according the the HN thread). Might not be a terrible board to design around. Though adding it to your BOM will make your final retail cost on the order of $450. Some creative googling got me this, for a different starting point. Looks like it might be a useful project writeup…
