    3 These adapters convert a Mini-PCIe slot on the Gateworks SBC to a M.2 B-Key slot for a M.2 Cellular Modem with Dual SIM slots. The adapter also provides SIM support for slots without a SIM.
     3These adapters convert a Mini-PCIe slot on the Gateworks SBC to various M.2 sockets designed primarily for Cellular Modems and WiFi radios. No active circuitry exists so the signals must be provided on the baseboard MiniPCIe socket to be useful. The exception is that SIM sockets require no baseboard functionality as the signals pass directly from the SIM sockets to the M.2 socket pins.

    55This page is specifically about the M.2 adapter, but note Gateworks has a dedicated [wiki:wireless/modem Cellular Modem Wiki Page]

    7 This adapter passes through USB signalling designed primarily for Cellular / LTE Modems. The adapter does not pass through any PCIe signalling. This adapter will not work for any 4xPCIe NVME M.2 cards. Each Mini-PCIe slot only has 1xPCIe and PCIe signalling is not passed through.
