-With a modular, small form factor, ultra-low power, plug & play hardware platform comprising of sensors,32-bit-ARM computing & communication modules, power and energy harvesting boards **n-Blocks PRO** is all about taking the Internet of Things to the next level.
+The n-Blocks PRO hardware modules have standardized form factor and connectors pinout. Each module is equipped with embedded processing, sensing technology, and wireless/wired communication capabilities. The n-Blocks Firmware includes an SDK with open APIs to take advantage of every feature of the hardware.
+The n-Blocks PRO has a modular design with small form factor and ultra-low power consumption. It comes with 32-bit-ARM processor. It is a plug & play hardware platform comprising of sensors and communication modules. The user can choose from the various combinations of power, performance and energy harvesting boards to enable features such as extended battery life. In short,  **n-Blocks PRO** is all about taking the Internet of Things to the next level.
