Jetson Nano carrier boards with 4G/LTE for a remote kiosk

Asked as: “Which Jetson Nano carrier boards have 4G/LTE? Remote kiosk project.”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

I found six carrier boards that support the Jetson Nano and list 4G/LTE. All of them also support newer Jetson modules (Xavier NX, Orin NX and others), so you could upgrade the module later without changing the board design.

Points that matter for a remote kiosk:

  • Display: All six have HDMI.
  • Wi-Fi as a backup link: The Photon and the three HZHY boards list Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. connecttec... +1connecttech.com ↗“connectivity.wifi_bt=True, connectivity.cellular=4G/LTE”hzhytech.com ↗“connectivity.wifi_bt=True, connectivity.cellular=4G/LTE”
  • Power over the network cable: JNX33 can run on PoE (802.3at), which can simplify cabling at the kiosk. The board doesn't supply PoE to other devices. The Photon can also take PoE/PoE+ (NGX002) as an alternative to a 12 V barrel jack. auvidea.eu +1auvidea.eu ↗“Powered by PoE (802.3at PD input); the board does not supply PoE”connecttech.com ↗“+12V DC +/-5% barrel jack, or PoE/PoE+ PD (NGX002)”
  • Cooling: HZHY-AI311UAV and HZHY-AI310UAV are fanless, which suits a sealed kiosk enclosure. HZHY-AI311UAV-O and JNX33 use a fan. hzhytech.com +3hzhytech.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fanless”hzhytech.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fanless”hzhytech.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fan”auvidea.eu ↗“thermal.cooling=Fan”
  • Software support: The Photon is the only one with a JetPack support list (5.1.1 up to 7.2). connecttec...connecttech.com ↗“software.jetpack_version_support=7.2”

What I couldn't confirm:

  • I couldn't find whether the LTE modem comes with each board or has to be added through an expansion slot. Please check this in each manufacturer's datasheet before you order.
  • Where the table says "Not listed", the manufacturer doesn't state that spec. It doesn't mean the board lacks the feature.
  • Many other Jetson Nano carrier boards don't state their cellular support at all, so they aren't in this list. Some of them might still take an LTE module through an mPCIe or M.2 slot, but I couldn't verify that.
