SIM7670G LTE Cat-1/GNSS HAT - expansion board with LTE Cat-1/GNSS module for Raspberry Pi

Description

The SIM7670G LTE Cat-1/GNSS HAT module for Raspberry Pi is a communication module that supports global LTE 4G Cat-1 bands and offers GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) functionality. With support for both LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD technologies, the module enables wireless communication with a maximum download speed of 10 Mbps and an upload speed of up to 5 Mbps. It is compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems and supports numerous network protocols, making it ideal for IoT applications such as remote data processing, device monitoring, industrial routers, or remote diagnostics.

The module features a standard 40-pin GPIO header that is compatible with the entire Raspberry Pi series. It supports multiple communication protocols, including TCP/IP, HTTP(s), MQTT(s), FTP(s), and SSL. Additionally, it offers GNSS positioning functions such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. It also includes 3 USB 2.0 Type-A ports, which can be used to extend the functionality of the Raspberry Pi or other host devices. The module has a SIM card slot (1.8V/3V) and provides access to UART and USB pins, making it easy to connect to other devices. 6 LED indicators allow for easy monitoring of the module's status and USB connections.

The SIM7670G module supports dial-up on both Windows and Linux systems, enabling connections to computers or industrial devices via a USB interface, allowing access to LTE Cat-1 networks. With its GNSS functionality, the module provides precise positioning, making it ideal for applications such as mobile device tracking, animal tracking, or vehicle monitoring.

The module is also compatible with the Waveshare.cloud platform, offering support for quick IoT solution deployment and real-time data visualization. Typical applications include smart gardens, server performance monitoring, and mobile GPS positioning. This versatile module provides broad functionality and global usability, making it an ideal solution for many professional and industrial projects based on Raspberry Pi.
