Introduction

The Sixfab 5G Development Kit v2 is an advanced carrier board designed to act as a high-speed bridge between M.2 package 5G cellular modules and the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5. Whether you are prototyping next-generation smart city infrastructure, smart industry with private or public network, autonomous drones, or high-bandwidth gateways, this kit provides complete design flexibility to trial and test your ideas in preparation for the commercialization of 5G devices.

To provide maximum flexibility, the v2 kit does not include a cellular module by default.

• Bundle Option: You can easily add a 5G module to your basket as a bundle while purchasing the kit.
• Custom Modules: If you already have hardware, you can use other compatible M.2 5G modules from different vendors.
  Note: Always check your specific M.2 5G module's compatibility with the kit specifications prior to installation.
