Add mobile network connectivity to a LattePanda IOTA with this dedicated M.2 4G LTE expansion board. It provides a standard M.2 B-Key slot for installing a compatible cellular module, making it useful where Wi-Fi is unavailable or unreliable.
The board connects to the LattePanda IOTA via a direct 2.54mm 4-pin header and is secured with screw fixation, so there is no soldering or complex modification required. An onboard Nano-SIM slot helps simplify the hardware setup once you have selected a compatible 4G LTE module, SIM card and antenna.
This is a hardware interface adapter board only. A 4G LTE module, SIM card and antenna are not included. Components required but not included are an M.2 B-Key 4G LTE module supporting USB 2.0 protocol in 3042 size, a 4G/LTE-compatible Nano-SIM card, and a matching 4G antenna kit suited to the selected module.
Includes M.2 4G LTE Expansion Board x1, M2 Hex Standoff x1, M2 Screws x2, M2 Washers x4 and User Manual x1. Recommended tested modules are Quectel EM05-CE and Simcom SIM7600H-G-M2.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 4G LTE
- 4G LTE is a cellular data standard used for internet access through mobile networks. For this controller, LTE expansion matters when a project needs remote connectivity where wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi is not available.
- GPS
- The US satellite navigation system used by GNSS receivers to calculate position and time. Support for GPS is important because it is widely available and often used together with other constellations for more reliable positioning.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- M.2
- A compact edge-connector format commonly used to plug small modules into a carrier board without soldering. On this product it is the physical connector used by the MicroMod system, so compatibility with the matching processor board is important.
