Description Waveshare SIM8262E-M2 5G HAT+ is a Raspberry Pi 5 5G expansion kit built around the SIMCom SIM8262E-M2 module. It combines a PCIe connection, 5G / 4G / 3G mobile networking, GNSS positioning, a Nano SIM slot, and a 5G 4-in-1 PCB antenna into one package for users who want a ready-to-deploy Raspberry Pi 5 cellular platform rather than an empty HAT. According to the official Waveshare Wiki, this version is part of the wider 5G HAT+ family and is designed for Raspberry Pi 5 networking through the PCIe interface with support for PCIe MHI driver porting on systems such as Raspberry Pi OS and OpenWRT. It is a strong fit for 5G gateways, industrial routers, vehicle networking, AIoT edge nodes, and mobile broadband Raspberry Pi deployments where you also want GPS / BeiDou / GLONASS / Galileo / QZSS support from the module. Important: this SKU includes the SIM8262E-M2 5G module. It is not just an empty adapter board. Features SIM8262E-M2 included: this version ships with the SIMCom SIM8262E-M2 5G module. 5G / 4G / 3G support: supports 5G NSA and SA, plus 4G LTE and 3G fallback according to the official family page. PCIe networking for Raspberry Pi 5: designed to connect directly to Raspberry Pi 5 through the PCIe interface via 16PIN cable. GNSS onboard through the module: supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS. Nano SIM support: onboard SIM slot supports 1.8V / 3V Nano SIM cards. 5G 4-in-1 PCB antenna included: the package includes the matching antenna system for deployment. PCIe MHI driver workflow: official documentation covers Raspberry Pi OS and OpenWRT support through the PCIe MHI path. Ready for router and gateway projects: suitable for industrial communication, AIoT, and high-speed mobile broadband builds.
