Arduino Pro 4G GNSS Module Global
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.

Build a cool display with the Arduino Giga Display - showcases using LVGL to show a graph of the on board mic, imu sensor and rgb led
The EV (electric vehicle) versus ICE (internal combustion engine) debate is more complicated that it may seem, but one fact is quite simple: it is much easier to generate electricity at home than it is to refine fossil fuels. This means that it is possible power a vehicle for free after the initial investment. But doing so takes quite a lot of hardware, which is why Shawn Murphy developed this charging system controlled by an Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi. Murphy owns a Ford Lightning electric pickup truck, which is inefficient by EV standards thanks to its weight. But even at just two miles per kWh of electricity, he estimates that he can break even on the cost of his solar charging system within four to five years. After that, the electricity to power the Ford will, essentially, be free. Any excess energy can power his home or feed back into the grid. Just powering the truck alone will require a lot of electricity, so Murphy acquired 10 used 360-watt solar panels. Those feed to a battery backup array, which supplies power to the Ford charging station. To maximize efficiency, Murphy wants the solar panels to pivot on one axis to follow the sun. He estimates that will increase their output by 20-25% throughout the day, which is a significant amount of energy with a solar panel array this large. An Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi board controls the tilt of the panels via linear actuators. Murphy originally used “dumb” actuators, but is switching to “smart” models from Progressive Automations that include positional feedback through Hall effect sensors. A GIGA Display Shield gives Murphy access to an interface, which he can also access through the Arduino Cloud. In addition to controlling the linear actuators, the Arduino monitors power generation and consumption. This is still a work in progress as Murphy continues to make improvements, but he’s well on his way to “free” energy for his truck.
