Waveshare Industrial IoT Wireless Expansion Module Compatible with Raspberry Pi CM4
The Waveshare Industrial IoT Wireless Expansion Module is a robust, purpose-built carrier board designed to transform the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) into a powerful industrial IoT gateway or edge computing device. At its core, this wireless expansion module bridges the gap between accessible single-board computing and rugged industrial automation by providing critical, hardened connectivity options.
It features dedicated M.2 and Mini-PCIe slots, allowing for the seamless integration of 4G/5G connectivity or LoRaWAN modules to ensure reliable, remote data acquisition and telemetry even in off-grid locations. Equipped with ruggedized RS485 and CAN bus interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet, and a wide 7V–36V DC power input, it guarantees stable communication across demanding factory floors or outdoor installations.
Housed in a durable, DIN rail mount ABS protection case, this all-in-one IoT router solution serves as the ideal, scalable foundation for building secure and highly adaptable smart factory, PLC, or remote monitoring systems.
