Description

The Waveshare NB-IoT/Cat-M/GNSS HAT is a versatile telecommunication expansion board for Raspberry Pi, leveraging the SIM7080G module. It combines three critical functionalities: Narrow Band-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), enhanced Machine Type Communication (Cat-M/eMTC), and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Designed to operate on global bands, this HAT ensures extensive coverage and adaptability for various IoT deployments as 2G/3G networks phase out.

This HAT provides reliable, low-latency, and wide-area cellular connectivity, making it an excellent choice for modern IoT solutions. Its integrated GNSS capabilities support multiple satellite systems, enabling precise positioning for asset tracking and location-aware applications. With support for key IoT protocols and a convenient USB interface for development, the Waveshare NB-IoT/Cat-M/GNSS HAT streamlines the development of connected, location-aware embedded systems.

Key Features

  • Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards.
  • Supports communication protocols such as TCP/UDP/HTTP/HTTPS/TLS/DTLS/PING/LWM2M/COAP/MQTT.
  • Supports GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo).
  • Onboard USB interface for AT commands and GPS data acquisition.
  • Breakout UART control pins for connection with external host boards like Arduino/STM32.
  • Onboard voltage translator, 3.3V default, switchable to 5V via jumper.
  • SIM card slot, exclusively supports 1.8V SIM cards.
  • Three LED indicators for monitoring working status.
  • Common baud rate auto-negotiation: 9600 to 115200 bps.
  • Comes with comprehensive development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi/Arduino/STM32).

Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with this HAT?

This HAT is designed with a standard 40-pin GPIO header, making it compatible with all Raspberry Pi models that feature this header, including the Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3B+, Zero 2 W, and older versions. Ensure proper library and driver installation.

What SIM card type does the Waveshare NB-IoT/Cat-M/GNSS HAT support?

The HAT exclusively supports 1.8V SIM cards. It is crucial to use a 1.8V SIM card; 3V SIM cards are not compatible and will not function. Verify your SIM card's voltage before insertion.

Can this HAT be used with other microcontrollers like Arduino or STM32?

Yes, the HAT provides breakout UART control pins, allowing it to be connected to other host boards such as Arduino or STM32. Development resources and examples are typically provided for integration with these platforms.

What communication protocols are supported for IoT applications?

The HAT supports a wide array of communication protocols essential for IoT, including TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, TLS, DTLS, PING, LWM2M, COAP, and MQTT. This broad support enables flexible integration into various IoT cloud services and platforms.

What is the primary difference between NB-IoT and Cat-M (eMTC)?

NB-IoT is optimized for extremely low power consumption and narrow bandwidth, suitable for devices sending small data packets infrequently. Cat-M (eMTC) offers slightly higher bandwidth and lower latency, supporting voice and mobility for more dynamic applications, while still being power-efficient.

Package Includes
