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.

After becoming frustrated at his lack of archery skills and not wanting to spend an eternity practicing getting better, Shane Wighton (known as Stuff Made Here on YouTube) sought to build a rig that could automatically correct his aim for the perfect shot every time. The device is comprised of a rigid sleeve that fits over the wearer’s forearm, along with a pair of stepper motors that can adjust where the bow is pointing either vertically or horizontally via a rack-and-pinion. These motors are driven by an Adafruit microcontroller running CircuitPython and a couple of motor driver modules that provide the necessary current. But that's not all, he also created a small rig that uses an Arduino Uno and servo motor to autonomously fling targets into the air. Target tracking is achieved by having a set of eight OptiTrack cameras around the room monitor the space for tiny gray spheres, and through the use of a special triangulation algorithm, they can accurately determine where both the arrow is pointing and where the target is in 3D space. Initially, the system missed all of its shots due to poor software and the wrong kind of bow, so Wighton completely rewrote his program and switched to a compound bow instead. Once everything had been corrected, the software was able to predict where a flying target would end up according to its speed, and thus had the ability to intercept it. The Auto-Aiming Bow could also hit a target the size of a 3mm-wide circle with scary precision.
