Raspberry Pi Cellular IoT Application Shield – LTE-M & NB-IoT & eGPRS

Description The ancient 2G cellular network is now dying. New and better LTE technologies are being used instead. LTE Cat M1/Cat NB1(NB-IoT) is the latest way of the machine to machine communication. This LTE shield for your Raspberry Pi allows you to connect the Raspberry to this new cellular network thanks to Quectel BG96 LTE module. It also provides the connection to eGPRS, the enhanced version of classical GPRS. Quectel BG96 is a series of LTE Cat M1/Cat NB1/EGPRS module offering a maximum data rate of 375Kbps downlink and 375Kbps uplink with worldwide coverage. The shield has built-in temperature, humidity, light sensors, 3-axis accelerometer, a relay and more. This LTE add-on for Raspberry Pi also supports GNSS(GPS, GLONASS etc) for location, navigation, tracking, mapping and timing applications purposes.
