Hi there,

May you recommend an up-to-date modem working for Colibri IMX8X modules?

I’ve seen here that using the USB interface is enough to make some modems work, even the form factor is PCIe. May you confirm this for the recommended modem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @josep.tx ,

We would basically like to use it for GPS positioning and to include a SIM card for data transmission. Europe and North America are the areas of interest for us.

Thanks in advance.
