Raspberry Pi A7670E Cat-1/GNSS HAT expansion board (26631)

The A7670E Cat-1/GNSS HAT ExpansionBoard is an expansion module designed for use with the Raspberry Pi. It is based on the A7670E module and provides support for LTE Cat-1/2G to enable communication over mobile networks, as well as GNSS (Global Navigation System) for positioning and navigation. It is a powerful and user-friendly tool for developers to easily and quickly integrate mobile communication and navigation capabilities into your Raspberry Pi-based projects.

Main features:

• The module provides support for LTE Cat-1 and 2G networks for mobile data transmission at speeds up to 10Mbps (data download) and 5Mbps (data upload). This allows for fast and reliable communication even in remote or poor signal reception conditions.

• The module is also equipped with a global navigation system (GNSS), which includes GPS, GLONASS, and other satellite systems for accurate positioning and navigation.

• This board is designed specifically for use with the Raspberry Pi, which is an option to extend the capabilities of this single-board computer.

• The module has a simple mechanism for connecting to the Raspberry Pi using the Pi 40PIN GPIO connector, which allows for quick and easy installation without the need for special tools or skills, and supports the Raspberry Pi series boards.

• This board is ideal for developing IoT projects that require communication over mobile networks, such as remote monitoring systems, tracking systems, vehicle monitoring, and more.

• Supports protocols including TCP/IP, HTTP(s), MQTT(s), FTP(s), and SSL

• Supports dial-up access, phone call, SMS

• Supports LBS base station positioning, it can get the approximate location information through the mobile network

• Supports GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS positioning

• Has TTS (speech synthesis) function, Chinese/English texts can be converted into spoken words

• Has a built-in USB interface for testing AT commands, network communication, etc.

• Has a built-in audio jack for recording audio, making phone calls, listening to the resulting TTS speech, etc.

• Features the control pins commonly used on the A7670E module, making it easy to connect to host boards such as Arduino/STM32

• Has a SIM card slot, supports 1.8V/3V SIM card

• Has 2 LED indicators that allow you to easily monitor the operating status

• Comes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi/Jetson Nano/Arduino/STM32)
