Old drivers (Linux) for computer components

It is very difficult to get this card to work with Pi 4. The drivers are out of date and you will need to recompile the Linux drivers if you want the card to work. I know my latest updated KaliPi box will not be plug and play in any form. The hat works, but requires a lot of research and work.

Pros
  • Part number: SIM7600A-H 4G HAT
Cons
  • ---

Required adapter best for computer components

Activation with the TMobile failed Card I took from my MiFi device. I didn't have enough knowledge to do this, but first I had to buy an adapter for the card to put it in the slot

Pros
  • Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO Extender compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W/Zero WH/2B/3B/3B+/4B and above, Jetson Nano
Cons
  • Socket required

I finally have internet at home Single Board Computer

used a T-Mobile SIM and my speeds were 26 lower and 10 higher. Revain doesn't allow me to post a link to an RPI board post on how to set this up, so find it here. Go to the WaveShare wiki (google "waveshare wiki"), scroll down under the green "Extensions" heading and click on "SIM7600A-H 4G HAT". In the Related Instructions section, click Configure wwan0 interface for 4G network. To connect it physically, just connect it via USB (not via UART). You don't need to connect it with GPIO headers…

Pros
  • SIM7600A-H 4G HAT is a 4G communication and GNSS positioning module that supports LTE CAT4 up to 150Mbps for downlink data transmission. it is quite low power consumption.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Hard to find documentation for lte HAT

There is no documentation about excellent build quality. It is best to use this hardware with open graphics. Much luck.

Pros
