Ardesco

Ardesco is Ericsson’s reference design that accelerates and simplifies the building of cellular IoT devices. The reason why this is possible is because Ardesco offers most of the tools needed for building cellular IoT devices, meaning that enterprises can get access to hardware schematics, development tools and an associated software stack, which will help them to accelerate their product development (shorter time to market/reduced cost).
