Arduino Pro 4G Module

Arduino Pro 4G Module offers fast data throughput and high bandwidths in a widely accepted Mini PCIe form factor. The Pro 4G Module uses a powerful LTE Cat 4 modem from Quectel® to ensure reliable 4G connectivity and backward compatibility with existing 2G and 3G networks. The Arduino Pro 4G Module is available in two variants, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and Global (including the United States). The device can be incorporated with multiple Portenta family boards to develop limitless applications in several scenarios, such as smart cities, smart buildings, remote maintenance, vending machines, and fleet management.
