Amazing kit! Assembled in no time (check raspberrypi official tutorial how to setup your rpi board. I have used model 3, but the tutorial is same for model 4: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/raspberry-pi-setting-up), run all commands as described in documentation here: https://docs.sixfab.com/docs/raspberry-pi-3g-4g-lte-base-shield-getting-started using QMI interface. And voila – it works!!! My school dream came true – IOT with NO Borders!!!
I am getting LTE 30/30 Down/Up speed – AMAZING!
Thank you Sixfab for amazing product and clear instructions! Definitely will look for another cool stuff from you!
Best,
Slava

Great kit. Simple to assemble but SixFab does not provide the standoffs or screws. It’s the little things that make the difference. I highly recommend their Raspberry Pi 4 hats.

This is a good little kit and works very well. Two things to note:
1. Use the short, supplied USB cable that comes with the kit. I tried a longer, heavier duty cable and the kernel complained with USB issues. Also, connectivity became intermittent. I tried this with various USB cables (all good quality) and it came down to length.
2. If using Verizon with the LE910C1-NF, be sure to issue an AT+FWSWITCH=2 to enable the Verizon configuration (it is set up for AT&T by default). You just need to do this once as it is stored in the modem.
All in all, a nice kit and I like that it doesn’t interfere with other boards on the RPi stack.
