Raspberry Pi CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Base Board

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 is a powerful new compact board for awesome Maker projects. However, if you are lucky enough to own a CM4 then you’d quickly notice its distinct lack of interfaces in favour of a small design. Fortunately, plenty CM4 Base Boards are available to provide all the interfaces, ports, and connections you need for your Raspberry Pi project. Pi’s are incredibly versatile and often form the cornerstone of many smart devices designed by hobbyists, including custom-made phones. This CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Base Board provides a Nano-SIM card slot for just that purpose! Of course, any DIY smartphone won’t resemble the cellular devices we’re used to; they’re even better. With this large extension board, you can enjoy a host of dual ethernet ports and additional peripherals.

The CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Base Board propels your project onto the internet in two ways while adding a slew of useful peripherals. Your Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4’s native gigabit ethernet capability is given two RJ45 ports. A Nano-SIM card slot also allows you to tap into a cellular connection and take your project with you. This combination of ethernet and cellular opens possibilities for creating smart IoT devices. You can maintain a portable connection on cellular and plug directly into ethernet when you settle down at your desk. Plugging the tiny CM4 board onto this larger extension board, Makers can enjoy the plug-n-play additions of various Pi Accessories. Connect two 4K touch displays using the dual HDMI ports and DSI display port, use the two USB 3.2 ports for a keyboard and headset, and even connect webcams with the two MIPI CSI-2 camera ports. A built-in real-time clock acts as a digital timepiece. More extensions allow you to install a 5V or 12V cooling fan and utilise the standard 40-pin GPIO header. The large CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Base Board includes a complete bucket list of ports, interfaces and connectors over its 99.6x87mm surface.

The CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Board is a great choice for extending your Raspberry Pi’s functionality to the extreme with an impressive 5G connection. Any variation of the Compute Module 4 is well-matched with the CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G board, including the CM4 Lite which can use the provided MicroSD card slot for storage. Tinkering with IoT technology, smart home devices, and more ambitious projects will never feel limited again.

Please Note: The CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Base Board is designed to perfectly fit any variation of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, which is unfortunately not available in our stock at this time.

Typical Applications for CM4 Dual ETH 5G/4G Base Board:

When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.

What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.

We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
