Arduino Pro 4G Module EMEA
The effortless way to revolutionize your connectivity experience, with the fourth generation of broadband cellular network technology.
Overview
The cutting-edge Arduino Pro 4G Module allows you to expand your connectivity capabilities to unlock the full potential of your projects – without changing your Portenta board.
Powered by a robust Cat.4 modem from Quectel, it ensures fast data throughput and high bandwidths for quick data download and upload, in even the most remote locations. Secure data transfer and long-range coverage make it ideal for challenging environments.
Developed in the widely adopted mini PCIe form-factor, it easily integrates into a wide variety of projects.
In addition to reliable 4G connectivity across the world, the Arduino Pro 4G Module guarantees compatibility with 2G and 3G networks.
Key benefits include:
- Add 4G connectivity and positioning to the Portenta family
- Guarantee reliable and quick data download and upload even in remote locations
- Enable long range coverage, both indoors and outdoors
- Change connectivity capabilities without changing the board
- Reduce infrastructure investments with respect to other traditional solutions
- Install your products in multiple countries leveraging the global network coverage
- Send SMS and set-up real-time notifications in case of alarms
- Take advantage of the widely adopted Mini PCIe form factor
Applications
The Arduino Pro 4G Module allows you to connect to your devices via Arduino Cloud, making error analysis, firmware updates, and remote maintenance easier and faster than ever. Have a project on a bigger scale? The Arduino Pro 4G Module can help you monitor an entire building’s safety conditions: regularly check on deformation, temperature, moisture levels, and other critical parameters without having to travel to the location itself – and take timely action when needed.

As Jallson Suryo discusses in his project, adding voice controls to our appliances typically involves an internet connection and a smart assistant device such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This means extra latency, security concerns, and increased expenses due to the additional hardware and bandwidth requirements. This is why he created a prototype based on an Arduino Nicla Voice that can provide power for up to four outlets using just a voice command. Suryo gathered a dataset by repeating the words “one," “two," “three," “four," “on," and “off” into his phone and then uploaded the recordings to an Edge Impulse project. From here, he split the files into individual words before rebalancing his dataset to ensure each label was equally represented. The classifier model was trained for keyword spotting and used Syntiant NDP120-optimal settings for voice to yield an accuracy of around 80%. Apart from the Nicla Voice, Suryo incorporated a Pro Micro board to handle switching the bank of relays on or off. When the Nicla Voice detects the relay number, such as “one” or “three," it then waits until the follow-up “on” or “off” keyword is detected. With both the number and state now known, it sends an I2C transmission to the accompanying Pro Micro which decodes the command and switches the correct relay.
