Turn a Raspberry Pi or compatible Single Board Computer with 40-pin header into a feature-packed Thread Border Router. Connect it to the internet using Ethernet or WiFi, or add your favorite pre-certified cellular modem and use it ANYWHERE!
A Border Router connects a local wireless network to other IP-based networks. This board was designed to implement a Thread Border Router, but its Nordic Semiconductors nRF52840-based radio module can support a variety of wireless protocols, including (Thread, BLE, Zigbee, and proprietary).
When this board is used with a Raspberry Pi Model 3B and the OpenThread Border Router (OTBR) software, it is a Thread Certified Component. Learn more here.
