VOXL 2 5G Modem Carrier Board and USB Hub (MDK-M0090)
Product Description
Brings 5G cellular connectivity to a drone or robot built on VOXL 2. The carrier attaches directly to VOXL 2 over a high-speed board-to-board connector and adds an m.2 modem slot, a nano-SIM slot, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hubs and extra SPI and I2C I/O to the stack.
The board is designed for the Sierra Wireless EM9291 5G modem and will likely not work with other modems. It is available as a carrier board on its own, or as a kit with an NDAA-compliant EM9291 modem and antennas.
