Waveshare SIM7070G Cat-M NB-IoT and GPRS HAT - for Raspberry Pi

This is a HAT for Raspberry Pi to use NB-IoT communication. The module supports SMS text mode and PDU mode, with which you can send text messages and data, for example. In addition, the module also supports satellite navigation (GNSS). The HAT is designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero, but also works with other models. In addition, the module can also be used with other microcontrollers such as an Arduino or ESP via the external pin headers.
