Mini PCIe / Gigabit Ethernet / USB 3.2 Gen1 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

This HAT gives your Pi 5 a MiniPCIe that supports 4G modules like the SIM7600G-H-PCIE (Optional), a handy gigabit ethernet port powered by the RTL8153B chip and two fast USB 3.2 Gen1 ports with low latency for connecting additional devices such as keyboards, gamepads, flash drives and more!

The Type-C port provides 4G networking, debugging, firmware updates on a PC, or external power input for added flexibility. It works with systems such as Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, OpenWRT and more!

It also supports GPS, BeiDou, Glonass, GALILEO, QZSS and LBS base station positioning (a 4G module such as SIM7600G-H-PCIE is required to use this function)

There are two options for this HAT: HAT Only and with SIM7600G-H-PCIE. Please choose which option you would like before adding it to the cart!
