WIN-PIHAT-QCTL-EC200 4G LTE Cat-1 GNSS Pi HAT

Description

The WIN-PIHAT-QCTL-EC200 is an advanced LTE Cat-1 expansion board meticulously engineered for seamless integration with Raspberry Pi single board computers. Powered by the high-performance Quectel EC200 module, this HAT delivers robust 4G cellular connectivity, making it an essential component for a wide array of Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Its integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) functionality, encompassing GPS and GLONASS, ensures precise and reliable real-time positioning, crucial for applications requiring accurate tracking and telemetry data.

Designed for operational resilience, the HAT supports both traditional physical SIM cards and modern eSIM technology, providing flexible network redundancy and simplified deployment across diverse environments. An onboard Real-Time Clock (RTC) with battery backup guarantees accurate timekeeping, essential for data logging and time-sensitive operations, even when offline. Communication with the Raspberry Pi is facilitated through dual interfaces: a standard UART for AT command control and a USB Type-C port for high-speed data transfer, enabling comprehensive modem management and data acquisition. Its compact form factor and industrial-grade specifications make it highly suitable for applications such as IoT telemetry, fleet management, smart metering, and various industrial automation systems, ensuring stable, low-power, and scalable cellular performance.
