This Hat means Serious Business. This Waveshare 4G HAT has a SIM7600G-H Module onboard which enables the 4G/3G/2G communication and GNSS positioning. This module supports LTE CAT4 connection up to 150Mbps for downlink data transfer.
By the end of this guide, you will be able to send text messages and ring phones from your Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer. Furthermore, you will be to pinpoint exactly what location your device is via GPS (and then send that location data through a text message). You will also be able to send text messages (SMS) to your Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer which can then activate hardware (attached via GPIO Pins) based on the contents of the text message.
You can also run this Waveshare 4G HAT as an Internet Hotspot, providing an internet connection that you can use to access the web or send out MQTT commands but to prevent blowing up the scope of this guide any larger, that will be explored in a follow-up guide. Furthermore, correctly configured this Waveshare 4G HAT will work with an Arduino Uno Micro-Controller or even as a standalone board, but that's also another story for another guide.
