M.2 5G modem on Rock Pi 4?

#1

I have been looking through the forum and wiki for info but the only learnt Rock 3 supports 5G module through M.2. Does this go the same for Rock Pi 4? I am looking for specifically Rock Pi 4 Plus.

Are M.2 5G modules supported in Rock Pi 4 Plus? Are there modems that are know to be supported?

Thank you all in advance,

Best,
Tony

Can specify which m.2 5G module do you want to use?

Thank you for your prompt response!

There are a few we’re looking at. all are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 modem though.

Models we’ve considered so far, to name a few:

  • SimComm SIM8200EA-M2
  • GosunCN GM800
  • Waveshare SIM8202G-M2 / SIM8200EA-M2

Are these sensible choices?

Better to check their compability with linux and arm SBC in total.
