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.

Just a simple and enjoyable autonomous greenhouse
Humans are animals and like all animals, we evolved in mostly outdoor conditions where the air is nice and fresh. But modern society keeps most of us indoors the vast majority of the time, which could have negative health effects. There are many potential hazards, including a lack of sunlight and psychological effects, but CO2 may pose a more tangible risk. To keep tabs on that risk within classrooms, a team from Polytech Sorbonne built this small CO2 monitor. This CO2 monitor performs two functions: it shows anyone nearby the CO2 levels in the area and it uploads that data over LoRaWAN to a central hub that can track the levels across many locations. A school could, for example, put one of these CO2 monitors in every classroom. An administrator could then see the CO2 levels in every room in real time, along with historical records. That would alert them to immediate dangers and to long term trends. At the heart of this CO2 monitor is an Arduino MKR WAN 1310 development board, which has built-in LoRa® connectivity. It uses a Seeed Studio Grove CO2, temperature, and humidity sensor to monitor local conditions. To keep power consumption to a minimum, the data displays on an e-ink screen and an Adafruit TPL5110 timer only wakes the device up every ten minutes for an update. Power comes from a lithium-ion battery pack, with a DFRobot solar charger topping up the juice. It uploads data through The Things Network to a PlatformIO web interface. An Edge Impulse machine learning model detects anomalies, so it can sound a warning even if nobody is watching. The enclosure is 3D-printable.
