  Blues (formerly Blues Wireless) is an IoT connectivity platform that provides
  hardware modules called Notecards and a cloud service called Notehub for
  routing device data from edge devices to cloud applications. The Notehub REST
  API enables developers to manage fleets of cellular, satellite, LoRa, and
  Wi-Fi connected devices across 130+ countries. Developers can use the API to
  retrieve device events, manage projects and fleets, configure routes to
  downstream cloud services, and monitor device health. Blues follows a
  consumption-based pricing model with no subscription fees, charging per
  ingressed event beyond a free monthly allowance bundled with each Notecard
  hardware purchase.

      The Notecard API is the firmware-level JSON API for interacting with Blues
      Notecard hardware modules directly over serial or I2C. It supports card,
      dfu, env, file, hub, note, ntn, var, and web request categories for
      configuring and communicating with Notecard devices from host
      microcontrollers.
