    17 M2M cellular modems operate as a point-to-point serial device. Typically they are used as IP network interfaces by initiating a connection to a cellular carrier using standard AT modem commands then running {{{pppd}}} which performs CHAP authentication and implements the PPP protocol. The {{{pppd}}} daemon uses the {{{chat}}} application for AT command scripts and creates a network interface once authentication succeeds. Some devices expose more than one serial interface for things like AT commands, proprietary API's, NMEA data from optional GPS etc can be used while the network is connected.

    7472Some of the common 5G modems that could be used on Gateworks Industrial SBCs:
    7573 * [#telifn980m Telit FN980/FN980m (3050)]
    76  * Sierra Wireless EM9190 (3052)
    77 
    78  * Note, many of these modems are very expensive ($250-500) and they are not readily available.
     74 * Telit FN990
     75
     76 * Note, many of these modems are very expensive ($250-500). CATm1 and 4G modems will be less expensive.
    7977 * Note, many of these modems are M.2, which requires an adapter if inserting in a Mini-PCIe slot. Gateworks makes a M.2 adapter for 3042 size M.2 cards. [https://www.gateworks.com/products/mini-pcie-expansion-cards/gw1614x-mini-pcie-to-m2-adapter-card/ Link Here]
