Wow! This thread blew up. I am psyched for the new products. Keep innovating Particle team.
Any word on the availability and pricing for the respective modules?

You can see the prices here: https://www.particle.io/mesh/buy
They should be shipping July 2018!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I am inquiring about the modules (like P1) and not the dev kit, which I already have placed an order for. Thanks
Are you referring to the mass production form factor Mesh products? Donât have any update for that, but stay tuned!

Yup, pre-certified modules for product makers. Are those planned? We can use an Argon replacement for P1.
They are planned. We will release our plans for mass production form factors for Particle Mesh hardware before preorder delivery in July 2018.

@Phreaknes, with the adapter board, the Boron will work with the Asset Tracker V2.

Thx @zach... I did have some premonition based on dialog with your sales team 
Can't wait to spin these up and see how they run.
@Will @Zach Do you guys have any maps showing LTE cellular coverage through your provider as of now?
Also, does the Boron LTE fall back to 3G cellular if no LTE service is available?
No, the Boron LTE is LTE-M1 only for now through AT&T, even though the hardware supports LTE M1/NB1 (edit). That being said, general LTE coverage should already cover more of the country than 2G/3G coverage in the US, which means that you should have LTE-M1 nearly everywhere you have 2G/3G coverage.
As of today, the official quote from our LTE-M1 provider about coverage in the US is the following:
"98% of LTE populations are LTE-M1 capable and within a few months it will be at 100%."

Thanks for the info, that sounds good.
Do you have an official coverage map you could share?

Nordicâs website has a design for a solar powered sensor beacon using the nRF52840. Hopefully Particleâs Xenon design wonât shoot us in the foot by including some power hungry supporting circuitry.

Why did you all abandon elementary particle names for element names? Will Particle have to change its name to Element now 
. There are plenty of other particle names to choose from; maybe you should have gone with Positron for the new cellular device (though youâd have to make sure you never get your Electron and Positron too close to each other). Anyway, why Boron? You have two noble gas names, why not Neon or Krypton, or even Organesson for the third device (maybe not that last one â kinda ugly name, and maybe not the best marketing to name your product after an element that has a 0.89 ms half life).
Iâm sticking with those noble gasses. Iâve ordered my Argons and Xenons (despite AT&Tâs coverage map, I have very spotty cellular coverage here 60 miles north of Particle headquarters).

Thanks! And agreed, it can't ship fast enough

A decent quick inverview with a Nordic engineer about the nRF52840 chipset we will be adopting in the near future. Figured it was appropriate to share here considering.
I like seeing the Ultra Low Power Sharp Memory LCDâs and Ultra Low Power BLE working together.

It also also worth noting that the Boron LTE supports NB-IoT, aka Cat M2 aka NB1. As carriers rollout support (which will take time,) we hope to support NB-IoT service as well!
