EBD070 – Industrial 5G Redcap cellular connectivity for Raspberry PiThe CALYX EBD070 brings Teltonika’s industrial cellular expertise into the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. Instead of relying on consumer USB dongles or unstable adapters, this Pi HAT delivers a clean, integrated cellular solution designed for continuous operation in real-world environments.It mounts directly onto the Raspberry Pi GPIO header and connects internally via USB, creating a compact and professional embedded gateway suitable for enclosure-based installations.What is 5G RedCap and why it matters5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) is part of the 5G standard specifically designed for IoT, industrial devices and edge systems.Compared to LTE:Lower latencyImproved network efficiencyBetter long-term roadmap supportCompared to full 5G:Lower power consumptionReduced hardware complexityMore predictable cost profileThis makes RedCap ideal for gateways, controllers, sensors and remote systems that need reliable connectivity, not gigabit speeds.Designed for embedded and edge applicationsThe EBD070 is engineered for permanent installation rather than desktop use. It supports external antennas via SMA connectors, allowing correct antenna placement away from the Pi enclosure when required.GPIO-level control pins allow software-based power management, modem reset and wake control, making it suitable for automated recovery and watchdog implementations in unattended deployments.Typical applicationsIndustrial IoT gatewaysEdge computing and data aggregationSCADA and PLC backhaulEnvironmental monitoring systemsSmart infrastructure controllersTransport and asset telemetryRemote Raspberry Pi access over cellularTemporary or mobile installations where fixed broadband is unavailableThis is not a hobby accessory. It is designed for engineers building deployable systems.Specification (Specification Tab)CategorySpecificationProduct nameTeltonika CALYX EBD070Product typeIndustrial cellular Raspberry Pi HATCellular technology5G NR RedCap (Standalone), 4G LTE fallback5G RedCap speedsUp to ~223 Mbps downlink / ~123 Mbps uplinkLTE speedsUp to ~150–195 Mbps downlink / ~50–105 Mbps uplink (network dependent)5G modeStandalone (SA)SIM typeNano SIM (4FF)Antenna connectors2 × SMA female (cellular)Host compatibilityRaspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5Interface to hostUSB via HAT interfaceGPIO supportPower control, reset, wake, statusAudio interfacePCM digital audioStatus indicatorsPower, network activity, network status LEDsOperating temperature-40 °C to 75 °CDimensionsApprox. 56 × 23 × 95 mmWeightApprox. 57 gCertificationsCE, UKCA, FCC, ISED, RCM (region dependent)MountingRaspberry Pi HAT mounting hardwareWhat’s in the boxTeltonika CALYX EBD070 5G RedCap Pi HATRaspberry Pi mounting hardwareUSB cableQuick start documentationWhy choose CALYX EBD070If you are building Raspberry Pi systems for deployment rather than experimentation, CALYX EBD070 removes the compromises normally associated with cellular connectivity on Pi platforms.It delivers:Industrial temperature toleranceProper external antenna supportStable long-term cellular technologyA clean, enclosure-friendly designIt is the correct choice for professional IoT and edge projects that must work unattended.
