Can you please clarify the procedure including required hardware add ons and compatibility for specific 5G chips as it relates to the VIM4? Thanks for your fine work and innovations. Keep up the great products, affordable price points, and stay vigilant with enforced full stack security. If you release the price of the VIM4 before the release date, and compatable hardware add ons…more people will save and order 
Best Regards,
Bryan
Hi goenjoy,
Do you have schematic for this Key.m to Key.b adapter for 5G module?
I want to try attach Telit n980 module instead of Quectel one.
Thanks!
There is no file you mentioned.
Hi goenjoy,
Ok, it strange, the files need for production, i can use tools to trace the routes by myself.
But when i connect the modem, i cannot see any devices on PCI bus. On USB bus i can see the modem, but i think it USB2 signals, that connected to management port of the modem.
In additional i can see 4 serial interfaces of the modem: /dev/ttyUSB0-3.
I cannot see any network interface from this modem.
Could you explain how i can establish 5G connection?
Attached lsusb log from the modem device.
Thanks.
Dmitry

Where did you get the 5G module? The 5G module can support USB interface and PCIE interface. Maybe the firmware of your 5G module is set to USB interface for communication. The following AT commands can be used to query:
AT+QCFG="data_interface"
Hi goenjoy,
We have the modems from quectel. We develop our 5G radio and Base Station, so we have modems and CPE’s from different vendors. I want to build my own CPE with VIM3/4 + WWAN Extension. Currently Telit modem doesn’t fit the board mechanically - the telit modem have components on bottom side, and SIM holder on extension board dont give install it well.
The command output is:
ati
Quectel
RM500Q-GL
Revision: RM500QGLABR11A01M4G
OK
AT+QCFG=“data_interface”
+QCFG: “data_interface”,0,0

Thanks!
@dgel27 The 5G module you are using communicates via USB interface. Your 5G module needs to be converted to PCIE interface communication. You may need to find a manufacturer to deal with the details. The command output of our 5G module is as follows:
AT+QCFG=“data_interface”
+QCFG: “data_interface”,1,0
OK
