I live in a rural area with poor broadband. T-mobile is introducing a cellular based home internet plan and if the speeds are 1/3 of what they tout, my bandwidth will increase 20x.
This would be stationary and I would build to that goal. I found there is usb support for the Quectel EC25 but a list search did not show pci-e. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=162106996807242&w=2 This chipset is available in a pci-express card and there is a base hat for the Rasberry Pi's 40-pin connector. https://sixfab.com/product/raspberry-pi-base-hat-3g-4g-lte-minipcie-cards/ I'd prefer a Gigybyte ethernet port on the arm64; Rasberry Pi4/M3/BPI-M2, Banana Pi, Nano Pi. These appear to be Realtek or Broadcom. Questions: Is there pci-e interface support for the Quectel EC25? Broadcom (bge) vs Realtek (re) NIC's; is one better supported than the other? -- J.
