4G / 3G / 2G / GSM / GPRS / GNSS HAT for Raspberry Pi, LTE CAT4 (WS-14952)  SIM7600E 4G HAT

4G/3G/2G/GSM/GPRS/GNSS HAT for Raspberry Pi, Based on SIM7600E-H

Overview

The SIM7600E 4G HAT is a 4G/3G/2G communication and GNSS positioning module, which supports LTE CAT4 up to 150Mbps for downlink data transfer. it is pretty low power consumption.

You can connect this 4G module with computer to surf the Internet, or attach it onto Raspberry Pi to enable functions like 4G high speed connection, wireless communication, making telephone call, sending SMS, global positioning, etc.

Note: this is a region-specific module, please check the supported bands before placing order.
