WiFi is great, but sometimes you want your connected project to Just Work, wherever in the world it is. Perhaps you're going to a festival and don't know if there will be wireless connectivity to control your weird LED art installation. Maybe you're trying to get the tech in your shed to talk to your home automation software, but the range of your wireless router won't quite reach. Possibly you're attaching sensors to a distant beehive, canal boat, bicycle or other object with a remote or transient location?
Hooking your Raspberry Pi up to cellular / mobile data could be your solution! Typically, transmitting sensor readings and suchlike doesn't consume much data compared to the needs of modern smartphones, so a small amount of pay-as-you-go data used like this goes a long way.
The mini HAT version of Clipper includes a couple of nice additions for your Raspberry Pi - LED indicators to show you what the LTE module is doing, two user buttons and a Qw/ST connector, which makes it easy to connect up breakouts with a Qwiic or STEMMA QT connector using one of these cables.
Clipper HAT Mini has an SMA connector for attaching an antenna. Antennae are sold separately, so be sure to pick one up!

Regional compatibility
The 4G LTE module on Clipper supports the following frequency bands:
B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28
If you're planning on using it outside of Europe we'd suggest first checking your local carriers offer 4G LTE on these specific bands. Networks in North America in particular only use a couple of these frequency bands, and so coverage may be limited.
Getting Started
Raspberry Pi OS has a built in ppp library for working with LTE 4G - our handy learn guide will show you how to get it set up.
