The full list of the compatible modules mentioned below. For global 3G coverage, we suggest Quectel UC20 3G Module, and for high-speed LTE connection, we suggest Quectel EC25 LTE Module, are available at Sixfab right now.
Features
- Fully compatible with Raspberry Pi models that have the 40-pin GPIO header (4, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero)
- Easy-to-use, simple setup, plug-and-play
- Clip-in Mini PCIe socket compatible with worldwide LTE, UMTS/HSPA+ and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage with regional or global modules which work with different frequencies&carriers
- With the 4G/LTE Module(e.g Quectel EC25) you can reach 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates. And the 3G Module( e.g Quectel UC20) delivers the maximum data rate of 14.4Mbps downlink and 5.76Mbps uplink.
- Micro SIM Card socket can easily reachable on the upside of the shield.
- Can be used standalone with PC/Laptop over micro USB, without stacking with Raspberry Pi.
- The shield can be powered from an external 5V source by exposed power pins, directly from Raspberry Pi 5V GPIO headers or over micro USB. A specially designed 90-degree right angle micro USB cable is included to package as a gift by default.
- Efficient and low quiescent current regulator circuit can hold up to 3.6A
- Optional Send/Receive commands over Raspberry Pi UART port is available
- Taking the module into the Airplane Mode, resetting module or RI and DTR functions can be done over GPIO pins.
- The modules(EC25&UC20) have built-in GNSS(GPS/GLONASS) receiver for your location-based applications.

Key Applications
- Video/Music Streaming
- Large Data Downloads and Uploads
- LTE Dongle/Router
- Mobile Internet Hotspot
- High-speed GPS Tracking
- Real-time Environmental Monitoring
- Smart City & Agriculture Applications
- Smart Parking
- Security & Asset tracking
Header Options
- Long Header: If you plan to attach another Raspberry Pi HAT or add-on board on top of the Base Shield, you will definitely need this variation. Also, using GPIOs with jumper cables is possible with these male headers.
- Short Header: Are you going to use Base Shield only, will not add another Raspberry Pi HAT or shield on top of it? Or you’ve already attached a board with a long header on Raspberry Pi and you’re planning to plug the Base Shield on top? This header option is suitable for you.
- Without Header: If just the plugging Base Shield via micro USB cable to Raspberry Pi is enough for you, or you’ve already attached a bulky shield on Pi, doesn’t need UART communication, this slim, headerless shield works greatly. For knowing what you missing without headers, take a look at the Pinout Diagram of the shield, these pins will be unconnected.
Technical Details
Connection Types
USB: Most of Mini PCIe modules have USB driver for Android, Linux, and Windows operating systems. The Base Shield that loaded with a module like Quectel EC25 LTE, can be attached to a minicomputer(especially Raspberry Pi), mobile phone or laptop with USB then works as a 3G/4G USB Dongle Modem. Drivers for modules, please visit the module product pages.
UART: If you insert one of the Quectel Mini PCIe modules, the UART pins will be available to use, with 3.3V power domain, directly connected the UART port of Raspberry Pi. But the maximum data rate will be lower than USB. It’ll be around 900 Kbit/s Downlink and Uplink (UART)

Magnus Eriksson –
hi i live in sweden. What kind of EC25 module should I use to make it work in Sweden and Europe
Metin –
Hi, Please choose Ec25-E (Europe).
Martin G. –
Hi, we have this Ec25-E (Europe) card in Germany but it just work with G3. Did you have some hints to fix this bug and get LTE Speed? Our sim Card contract is working with LTE we tested it with a LTE stick.
Metin –
We will ask to Quectel and will turn to you
Mahmut –
On the EC25 module, 4G is open by default and connection priority is available. However, if there is no 4G signal in the area where it operates, it will try to connect via 3G. We can force the test module to connect to 4G Access technology. Could you try the following command for this and try connecting to the same region? Then AT + COPS? Could you send me the output of the command?
So, the command is ‘AT+QCFG=”nwscanmode”,3’ to force the module search the network only LTE. Please see the following example.
AT+COPS?
+COPS: 0,0,”TR TURKCELL”,6 //Access technology is UTRAN W/HSDPA and HSUPA
OK
AT+QCFG=”nwscanmode”
+QCFG: “nwscanmode”,0
OK
AT+QCFG=”nwscanmode”,3 //force the module to connect only LTE network
OK
AT+COPS?

Louis (verified owner) –
Hello,
is the shield compatible with Quectel EP06 ? EP06 support carrier aggregation (for best bandwidth) and some new lte bands.
https://www.quectel.com/UploadImage/Downlad/Quectel_EC25_Mini_PCIe_Hardware_Design_V1.1.pdf
https://www.quectel.com/UploadImage/Downlad/Quectel_EP06_Hardware_Design_V1.0.pdf
It seems the difference is the following mini PCIE pins. They introduced USB3.0.
23 PERn0 UART_CTS DI UART clear to send Connect to DTE’s RTS -> 23 PERn0 USB3.0_TX- DO USB 3.0 transmit data (-)
25 PERp0 UART_RTS DO UART request to send Connect to DTE’s CTS -> 25 PERp0 USB3.0_TX+ DO USB 3.0 transmit data (+)
31 PETn0 DTR DI Sleep mode control -> 31 PETn0 USB3.0_RX- DI USB 3.0 receive data (-)
33 PETp0 RESERVED Reserved -> 33 PETp0 USB3.0_RX+ DI USB 3.0 receive data (+)
onur –
Hi Louis,
In our shield, RTS and CTS pins are not connected. Reserved pin is in the idled. Only the DTR pin connected to the RPI pin. So EP06 USB3.0 RX pin connected to the RPI pin. So maybe It can work. But you can use USB 2.0 function, not USB 3.0. We didn’t try it before. So we cannot guarantee.
Şahin –
Hello Sixfab team,
Great work, congratz.
I have a specific question. I have a R.Pi 3B+ and an additional CANBUS+MODBUS head and it has no extra head expansion on it. I need to use GPRS+GPS head from you and this head too. Can I do it? How? And since canbus+modbus are both serial ports, can R.Pi handle all these at the same time, is there any conflict of ports/buses ?
Thank you
Metin –
Hi,
You can use our shield via USB. If you connect via USB, you do not need to plug in the pins, only USB. And use /dev/ttyUSB0 for communication. ( Don’t forget to select the switch to USB ).
