Hi @gregcmn and welcome to our forum!

This product comes with:

  • 1 x SIM7600E-H 4G HAT
  • 1 x LTE Antenna
  • 1 x GPS External Antenna (B)
  • 2 x USB type A plug to micro plug cable
  • 1 x RPi screws pack (2pcs)

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

Thanks for the reply. The one thing missing is…what 4G modem card do I put in it to work? You didn’t note if there was a 4G modem built in or I have to add a card?
If it is built in, I just need a verizon sim then?

  • Supports SIM application toolkit: SAT Class 3, GSM 11.14 Release 99, USAT
  • Comes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi/Jetson Nano/Arduino/STM32)

Ok… Yes, there is a modem :slight_smile:

It looks like a lot of GPIO/pins are used on the pi. What pins on the pi are really left?


pins
Looks like 1, 4, 9,14,17,25,26,27,28 and 34 where half of those are GND. If you use this, it seems like it is pretty dedicated to just being a modem?
