NB-IoT / Cat-M(eMTC) / GNSS HAT for Raspberry Pi
Introducing the Telecommunication HAT, a versatile device offering a range of communication functionalities. This HAT incorporates three key features: NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things), Cat-M (also known as eMTC, enhanced Machine Type Communication), and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
With the rapid advancements in telecommunication technology, traditional 2G/3G networks are gradually fading away. The future landscape will be dominated by IoT technologies, combining low bandwidth options like NB-IoT/Cat-M with high bandwidth standards such as 4G/5G.
Designed to operate globally, this HAT supports NB-IoT and Cat-M bands, while also providing positioning capabilities through GNSS. Its compact size, minimal latency, and extensive coverage make it the perfect choice for a wide range of IoT applications, including intelligent instruments, asset tracking, remote monitoring, e-health, and more.
Features:
- Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards
- Supports communication protocols such as TCP/UDP/HTTP/HTTPS/TLS/DTLS/PING/LWM2M/COAP/MQTT
- Supports GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo)
- Onboard USB interface, to test AT Commands, get GPS positioning data, and so on
- Breakout UART control pins, to connect with host boards like Arduino/STM32
- Onboard voltage translator, 3.3V by default, allows to be switched to 5V via onboard jumper
- SIM card slot, supports ONLY 1.8V SIM card (3V SIM card is not available)
- 3x LED indicators, easy to monitor the working status
