Transform your Raspberry Pi into a powerful IoT gateway with the Particle M-HAT LTE IoT HAT. This power-optimized expansion board integrates advanced cellular connectivity, sophisticated power management, and edge computing capabilities into a single, stackable solution. The M-HAT enables seamless deployment of AI models at the edge while ensuring reliable connectivity and extended device uptime through its multi-power source support and intelligent power management features.
Key Features
- Dual SMA antenna connectors for robust cellular connectivity
- Integrated battery charger with multi-power source support (PoE, DC, USB-C PD, and battery)
- Ultra-low power sleep modes with dedicated wake pin
- Stackable design with extended 40-pin female connector
- Built-in support for Raspberry Pi models 3, 4, and 5
- Precision power control through PFET implementation
- Real-time clock and watchdog chip for system monitoring
- External TPM for enhanced security
Technical Specifications
- UART interface supporting 921k baud rate
- Power input options:
- USB-C
- VIN (6-12 VDC)
- LiPo battery with temperature sensor (3-pin JST-PH)
- Cellular Connectivity:
- LTE Cat 1 module with 2G and 3G fallback
- Frequency bands: 900, 1800, and 2100 MHz (EMEA region)
- Integrated GNSS positioning system
- 2x QWIIC connectors for I2C expansion
How to Use
Installation is straightforward through the stackable design. Mount the M-HAT directly onto your Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. For optimal performance, connect the provided antennas to the SMA connectors. Power can be supplied through any of the supported input methods - USB-C, DC input, or battery. The Waveshare SIM7600G-H M.2 4G HAT can be used as an alternative for different regional requirements.
The board interfaces with your Raspberry Pi through standard GPIO connections, while the QWIIC connectors enable easy integration of I2C sensors and peripherals. For power-sensitive applications, utilize the ultra-low power modes and wake pin functionality to optimize energy consumption.
