4G Module Expansion Board for Jetson Orin with SIM7600G-H-M.2 Module
The 4G Module Expansion Board for Jetson Orin is a high-speed wireless communication module that integrates the SIM7600G-H-M.2 4G module, providing global 4G/3G/2G network coverage and GNSS positioning capabilities. Designed for Jetson Orin Nano, Orin NX, and other embedded computing platforms, this module enables stable and efficient mobile data communication for IoT, AI, robotics, and remote monitoring applications. Equipped with a USB 3.1 interface (backward compatible with USB 2.0), the module connects seamlessly to Jetson Orin, PCs, or Raspberry Pi boards, delivering high-speed 4G network access with low latency. It supports multiple communication protocols such as dial-up, phone call, SMS, TCP, UDP, MQTT, HTTP(S), FTP(S), and more — making it a flexible solution for diverse networking and data transmission tasks. In addition to connectivity, the module features GNSS positioning support across major satellite systems including GPS, Beidou, Glonass, Galileo, QZSS, and LBS base station positioning, offering accurate global navigation and tracking capabilities. Its onboard M.2 B-Key slot and module selection switches provide compatibility with a variety of M.2 communication modules such as SIM8260X-M2, SIM8262X-M2, RM5XX, and SIM7600 series.
