IOT solution

[Jonamleonel]

A pattern is going to use P-NUCLEO-53L8A1 to monitor when a person get in to the bus , does anybody know how to send the information to the cloud via 4G or CAT and send GPS location, which devices should I use?

You are not about a specific problem of the P-NUCLEO-53L8A1, but about a complete solution for sending the data including the GPS location via 4G/CAT. In addition to the ToF sensor, you need at least two other devices:

• a GPS module (e.g. Teseo-LIV4F)
• a 4G module (currently not available from STMicroelectronics)

You might consider the new low-power narrowband (NB-IoT) industrial module ST87M01 from STMicroelectronics, which also offers GNSS capability. The corresponding evaluation tool EVLST87M01 has already been announced and will hopefully be available soon.

Hope that helps?

@Jonamleonel mentioned this being on a bus - so, presumably, mobile ?

NB-IoT is not great for mobile applications!

LTE-M would be more suitable for a mobile application.

But these are both focussed on really power-constrained applications - which is probably not the case in a bus?

The P-NUCLEO-53L8A1 is just a sensor evaluation kit:

Sending data to the cloud really is an entirely separate issue - nothing to do with the sensors.

Data is just data - it makes no real difference where it came from.

There are dozens of different protocols that can be used to send data to the cloud:
