Perhaps you're going to a festival and don't know if there will be wireless connectivity to control your weird LED art installation. Maybe you're trying to get the tech in your shed to talk to your home automation software, but the range of your wireless router won't quite reach. Possibly you're attaching sensors to a distant beehive, canal boat, bicycle or other object with a remote or transient location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHooking your Raspberry Pi up to cellular\/mobile data could be your solution! Typically, transmitting sensor readings and suchlike don't consume much data compared to the needs of modern smartphones, so a small amount of pay-as-you-go data used like this goes a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mini HAT version of Clipper includes a couple of nice additions for your Raspberry Pi - LED indicators to show you what the LTE module is doing, two user buttons and a Qw\/ST connector, which makes it easy to connect up breakouts with a Qwiic or STEMMA QT connector using one of \u003ca href=\"\/nl\/search?q=STEMMA+QT\u0026amp;narrow_by=\u0026amp;sort_by=relevency\u0026amp;page=1\" title=\"STEMMA QT\"\u003ethese cables\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClipper HAT Mini has an SMA connector for attaching an antenna. \u003cstrong\u003eAntennae are sold separately\u003c\/strong\u003e, so be sure to \u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/51mm-whip-lte-antenna\" title=\"51mm Whip LTE Antenna\"\u003epick one up\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raspberry Pi and accessories are \u003cstrong\u003esold separately\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.simcom.com\/product\/A7683E.html\"\u003eSIMCom A7683E 4G LTE module\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Bands: LTE-FDD B1\/B3\/B5\/B7\/B8\/B20\/B28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Via AT Commands (SIMCom AT-Command Manual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIM card slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo user buttons (labelled A and B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTATUS and NET indicator LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSMA connector for attaching an antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQw\/ST (Qwiic \/ STEMMA QT) connector for attaching I2C breakouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnpopulated headers for adding a speaker and microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-soldered socket header for attaching to Raspberry Pi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soldering required (as long as your Raspberry Pi has a 40-pin header attached).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Raspberry Pi computers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 65 x 30 x 17mm (L x W x D, including connectors).
