== Technical overview ==
* The HAT features an M.2 B KEY slot compatible with RM500U-CN, RM500Q-GL, RM500Q-AE, and RM502Q-AE modules.
* Four antenna connectors are provided for LTE-A/5G signals.
* Two SIM card slots are present; switching between cards is done via AT command.
* Power can be supplied via USB 3.1 or externally via USB-C (5V/3A).
* An onboard cooling fan cools both the Raspberry Pi and the 5G module simultaneously.
* For Windows, it is recommended to use MBIM mode; avoid RNDIS/ECM in Windows.
* Under Linux (e.g., Raspberry Pi OS), RNDIS or ECM mode can be used.

== Notes and version constraints ==
* No guarantee that all listed modules are exactly compatible with this HAT – compatibility must be verified per module.
* Using RNDIS or ECM under Windows may cause driver issues; MBIM is recommended.
* Certain features such as audio or GNSS are not supported by the RM500Q-AE.
* Correct configuration depends heavily on the exact version of the module and operating system.
