AXT1800/Slate AX with 5G/LTE Stick

Technical Support for Routers 4G LTE, 5G NR, USB modems

Hello,
I hope it's ok that I ask the question here, I haven't found anything via the search.

  1. Do I need an LTE stick to set up a mobile data connection with the Slate AX? Is 5G possible? Is there a particularly good/popular model?

  2. the power is specified as max. 8.75W. Is there an increased inrush current? (This is important for me as I want to operate it at 12V)

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

  1. LTE and NR stick both ok, premise it connects with USB.
    Recommend the GL 5G dev board with Quectel RM520.

  2. May clarify what the inrush current is.
    For the USB, it max 8.75w output, if the USB device have extended supply, it should use its power supply, and the AXT1800 USB only traffic and will not output power.

Thank you for your answer, but I think you are overestimating my knowledge. Is there no out-of-the-box LTE stick with which a mobile data connection is possible in Europe?

By power supply, I actually meant the router itself: So the power it needs itself and not an external card...

Please refer to this post, we cannot surely to if the USB dongle can work out-of-the-box in Europe, since it also related to the operator SIM, APN, cellular base station, etc. But lots of user share their experience in our forum, please search to learn.
