It supports LTE-FDD B1/B3/B5/B8 and LTE-TDD B34/B38/B39/B40/B41 bands, making it suitable for deployments in China, India, Southeast Asia and other supported regions.The module provides up to 10Mbps downlink and 5Mbps uplink, with built-in protocol support for TCP, UDP, PPP, HTTP, NITZ, NDIS, NTP, HTTPS and MQTT. It can be controlled over UART using AT commands, helping keep 4G integration straightforward for microcontrollers and single-board computers.A USB Type-C interface enables USB network card functionality, with driver-free operation tested on PC, Raspberry Pi and LattePanda. Low-power sleep operation, UART data wake-up and periodic interrupt wake-up make it useful for remote IoT applications where power budget matters.The package includes the Gravity Air780E 4G CAT1 Communication Module, a 4G stick antenna and a UART PH2.0-4P connecting cable. DFRobot also provides supporting documents including a product wiki, schematic, AT command set, 2D CAD and 3D STP files.Features:Supports LTE-FDD B1/B3/B5/B8 and LTE-TDD B34/B38/B39/B40/B41 frequency bands.Offers 4G CAT1 communication with maximum data rates of up to 10Mbps (downlink) and up to 5Mbps (uplink).Integrates network protocols such as TCP/UDP/PPP/HTTP/NITZ/NDIS/NTP/HTTPS/MQTT, eliminating the need for low-level development.Features a UART interface with AT command control for standard serial communication, ensuring ease of use.Equipped with a TYPE-C interface and USB network card functionality, supporting driver-free USB network capabilities on PC, Raspberry Pi, and LattePanda.Includes a low-power mode, with serial data wake-up and periodic interrupt wake-up features.Compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic level.Supports a power supply voltage range of 5V-12V.Specifications:Applicable regions: China, India, Southeast Asia, and other areasSupported bands: LTE-FDD: B1/B3/B5/B8, LTE-TDD: B34/B38/B39/B40/B41Supported protocols: TCP/UDP/PPP/HTTP/NITZ/NDIS/NTP/HTTPS/MQTTSpeed: 10Mbps (downlink) / 5Mbps (uplink)Low power consumption: As low as 0.6mA in sleep mode, supports UART serial data wake-up and periodic interrupt wake-upDevelopment mode: AT commandsCommunication interface: UART (PH2.0-4P Gravity interface)SIM card slot: Nano SIM cardLevel compatibility: 3.3V/5VAntenna interface: SMA female connector (external thread, internal pin)Antenna specifications: 4G/LTE 50mm elbow rubber stick antenna, SMA-J interface (SMA internal thread, internal pin)Power supply voltage - USB port: 5VPower supply voltage - terminal block: 5V-12V (recommended for long-term deployment)Power supply voltage - UART interface: 3.3V-5V (this interface has lower power and may not ensure normal communication, only for testing)Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°CPCB size: 42mm×37mmTypical uses include agricultural and forestry monitoring, industrial environmental detection, remote lighting control, mobile payment networks, external 4G communication for industrial PCs, interactive communication, warehouse and building IoT, and home IoT projects. **Product Type:** Cellular Communication Module ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDEEkBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--bb9e70a94b8c005d50488e67fc973c26fd2c5460/TEL0179_Main_01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDEUkBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--0100eb0f81ad752bd5a02f84861f815f939972f0/TEL0179_Dim_02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDEkkBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--24c2c03bdab8ea6e6d74d6c341d03cd8b568f821/TEL0179_Back_03.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDE0kBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--87b4c0f99e2acad30e169c6ddd6a1cff3835720e/TEL0179_ShipList_04.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDFEkBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--66c9c1672ed60f98aa3b3ca571dd77d3a2af11d9/TEL0179_Detail_05.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDFUkBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--8466114ed28b5ef5586cc5bbc923fa61d81d5253/TEL0179-datail-001.jpg) - [Image 7](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDFkkBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--18d6f76d37d8a9a58a9f24c4bdb6393f829c7ed4/TEL0179-detail-002.jpg) - [Image 8](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDF0kBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--0d7bd2934e1283afe0fd60560ebb875f64c78daa/TEL0179-detail-003.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
