Teltonika Calyx EBD021
The EBD021 is the 4G Cat 4 entry in Teltonika's Calyx family — a cellular HAT+ that snaps onto a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5's GPIO and adds a managed mobile connection. Compact, fanless, GPIO-controllable (wake / reset / power), with PCM audio for voice applications. Pairs with the SIMSY API and the Cellular Private LAN tooling out of the box.
Key features
- 4G LTE Cat 4 modem — up to 150 Mbps DL / 50 Mbps UL
- Raspberry Pi HAT+ form factor — sits on top of a Pi 4 or Pi 5 GPIO header
- Network presented as eth0 to the Pi (RNDIS / ECM) — no special drivers
- GPIO modem control — wake, reset and power-cycle from the Pi
- PCM audio interface for voice / VoLTE applications
- Compact, fanless industrial design

Best for
Cellular for an existing Pi-based product
You already ship a Pi 4 / Pi 5 inside a product. Add cellular without redesigning the enclosure — the HAT slots onto the GPIO and the Pi sees a standard Ethernet interface.
Lightweight remote IoT nodes
Sensors, gateways, kiosks where 4G is the right primary connection. The Pi handles application logic; the EBD021 handles the network.
Cellular as fallback for fixed-line Pis
Pi is normally on Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but you need a fallback for the moments when those drop. The EBD021 becomes the backup interface, controlled from the application layer.
