SIM7000C NB-IoT / eMTC / EDGE / GPRS / GNSS HAT for Raspberry Pi, for Asia-Pacific region
NB-IoT / Cat-M / 2G / GNSS HAT for Raspberry Pi
Based on SIM7000C
This is a telecommunication HAT for Raspberry Pi which supports NB-IoT, Cat-M, EDGE, and GPRS, as well as GNSS positioning function. Due to its advantages like low power, low delay, and wide coverage, it is the ideal choice for IoT applications such as intelligent instruments, asset tracking, remote monitoring, E-health, and so on.
