Delivering unique features

The Electric Imp imp006 is the most sophisticated imp we have built to date. Delivered as a pre-programmed STM32F423ZHJ6I ready to be directly integrated on your PCB, it significantly reduces BOM cost when compared to other modules and brings unrivaled flexibility to your IoT designs.

  • Total wireless flexibility
    Out of the box, the imp006 supports the Quectel BG96 radio, providing CAT-M1 and NB-IoT with 2G fallback where available. It also supports multi-band WiFi. You choose which connectivity you need for your use-case: cellular, WiFi or both. If you include WiFi, choose between low-cost single-band or flexible dual-band options.
  • GNSS
    Include cellular in your imp006-based design and get full global location detection and tracking capabilities too provided by the BG96.
  • BLE
    Include WiFi in your imp006-based design and you get personal area networking, including wireless BlinkUp™, too.
  • Massive hardware connectivity
    The imp006 exposes 54 GPIO pins which also provide parallel access to seven UARTs, four SPI channels, seven I2C buses and eight PWM outputs.

Leveraging a mature platform

Like all imps, the imp006 naturally gets the full support of our fully managed, battle tested platform, including:

  • Lifetime security coverage.
  • Fail-safe over-the-air OS and application updating.
  • Sophisticated device and cloud-based agent architecture.
  • Complete cross-module software compatibility.
  • Proven volume manufacturing workflow for your IoT product.
  • Powerful fleet management tools that scale from one device upwards.
