Waveshare SIM7600CE 4G HAT for Raspberry Pi LTE Cat-4 4G/3G/2G Support

Waveshare SIM7600CE 4G HAT for Raspberry Pi is a versatile communication expansion board that enables LTE Cat4 4G / 3G / 2G connectivity along with GNSS positioning. Designed for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano, it integrates the SIM7600CET module, providing data rates up to 150 Mbps (DL) / 50 Mbps (UL) under LTE Cat4. The board supports dialup networking, SMS, voice calls, and cloud communication protocols such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, and FTP. With onboard USB interface, SIM card slot, TF card slot, and audio jack with decoder, it offers a complete solution for IoT and embedded applications requiring reliable mobile communication. Multiconstellation GNSS support (GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS) ensures accurate positioning, while compatibility with Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi OS makes integration straightforward.
