Teltonika EBD070 Calyx 5G Red Cap Modem for Raspberry Pi 4 or 5

The mobile module designed for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 adds 5G RedCap connectivity to your project wherever Wi-Fi or Ethernet fails. With direct installation via the 40-pin GPIO header, you achieve absolutely clean integration without cable clutter and with the option for global backup connectivity. Two SMA antenna connectors enhance signal stability even in challenging conditions. The low profile allows for use in compact devices.

What is 5G RedCap and what is it for?

5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) is a lightweight variant of 5G designed for devices that do not require extreme speeds or full performance but need modern, stable, and energy-efficient connectivity. It offers higher speed, lower latency, and better reliability than 4G/LTE, while having lower power consumption and cost than full-fledged 5G. This makes it ideal for IoT devices, industrial sensors, security systems, wearables, and other applications where efficiency, long battery life, and solid performance are important.

Durable solution with smart management

The compact module is constructed for extreme environments with a temperature range from -40 °C to +75 °C. Advanced GPIO control allows the modem to be remotely restarted, awakened, or completely powered off, ensuring continuous availability even in hard-to-reach places. Integrated PCM audio support provides high-quality voice transmission with minimal latency, making it ideal for communication, monitoring, and system reports. The robust design minimizes the need for external modems and simplifies installation.

Efficient power supply and professional integration

Power and data communication take place via modern USB-C or GPIO interfaces with support for 5 V / 3.3 V DC, providing maximum flexibility in device design. HAT+ design ensures a clean fit on the Raspberry Pi, thus significantly saving space inside cabinets or kiosks. Calyx 5G brings extreme speed and maximum bandwidth for HD video, streaming, and real-time control, ideal for projects without compromises in speed and reliability.
