The SIM7600SA-H 4G HAT is a 4G/3G/2G communication and GNSS positioning module, which supports LTE CAT4 up to 150Mbps for downlink data transfer. it is pretty low power consumption.

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

Features

  • Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson Nano
  • Supports dial-up, telephone call, SMS, mail, TCP, UDP, DTMF, HTTP, FTP, etc.
  • Supports GPS, BeiDou, Glonass, LBS base station positioning
  • Onboard USB interface, to test AT Commands, get GPS positioning data, and so on
  • Onboard CP2102 USB to UART converter, for serial debugging
  • Breakout UART control pins, to connect with host boards like Arduino/STM32
  • SIM card slot, supports 1.8V/3V SIM card
  • TF card slot for storing data like files, messages, etc.
  • Onboard audio jack and audio decoder for making telephone call
  • 2x LED indicators, easy to monitor the working status
  • Onboard voltage translator, operating voltage can be configured to 3.3V or 5V via jumper
  • Baudrate: 300bps ~ 4Mbps (default: 115200bps)
  • Autobauding baudrate: 9600bps ~ 115200bps
