Muon Unboxing
We know some of you love a classic unboxing moment, that satisfying reveal of what's inside the box. For Muon, we’re giving you a clean, visual breakdown of what to expect.
If you’re the type who just wants to get to work, we’ve got you covered too. Everything is laid out for quick setup, and you can always come back here for reference.
What’s in the Box
When you open your Muon kit, carefully remove each component from the packaging. Inside, you’ll find:
✅ The Muon board with M.2 socket
✅ A LiPo battery
✅ LoRaWAN Antenna
In addition, you need an BSoM or an MSoM kit. This contains:
✅ SoM Module with M.2 connector
✅ Cellular antennas
✅ Optional GNSS or BLE/WiFi antennas depending if the module supports it
When you combined these together, you get the full gateway and SoM solution and you can combine together!

About the Box
The Muon box doubles as a project enclosure, but you’ll need to make a few modifications. If you plan to use it long-term, you’ll need to drill or cut holes to route connectors or secure components. For now, we recommend removing the components and assembling them on your desk to get started quickly.
