Sixfab CORE Service Discontinuation Notice

We want to inform you that Sixfab CORE will no longer be available starting from December 31, 2025. After this date, users with the Raspberry Pi 4G/LTE Cellular Modem Kit and NVIDIA Jetson Nano 4G/LTE Cellular Modem Kit will no longer be able to install or use Sixfab CORE on their devices.

To set up cellular communication on your devices, we recommend following the ECM (Ethernet Control Model) tutorial available on our website, which will guide you through the process of establishing a reliable cellular connection without the use of Sixfab CORE.

Manage your Raspberry Pi remotely with Raspberry Pi Connect, providing a browser-based terminal and management tools. This service simplifies remote access, making SSH setup unnecessary, especially for cellular connections. For more details, visit the official Raspberry Pi Connect documentation.

We understand this change may affect your current setup, and we are here to assist you during the transition. If you have any questions or need support, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in Sixfab.
