Hi All,
i'm after some advice regarding how to approach a particular problem. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that is collecting some sensor data for me in a remote location where i don't have any internet via ethernet or wifi. Every minute i will have a new file to transfer to cloud storage (most likely Azure), approximate size 3.5Mb. I was wondering what the best approach would be to connect to the internet at my remote location?
I've not worked with any 4G routers before, and am a bit hazy on the technical specs for this as well. However, after the usual Google search i've located a possible solution in the Waveshare SIM7600 (can be found here https://thepihut.com/products/4g-hat-fo ... ositioning). I have several questions around this:
1) Would the Waveshare device provide internet connection to enable data transfer of the files as described above?
2) If this isn't suitable, are there some alternatives?
3) Maybe this is a dumb question, but would the 4G HAT be used on the Raspberry Pi where i am collecting my data? I kind of think this is an IoT kind of thing, but to transfer the data do i have 1 Raspberry Pi for the 4G HAT, which you connect to, just like you would to your home wifi and transfers the files, or can all this be put on the same Raspbery Pi?
4) If anyone has some experience of using these, do they have any recommendations for cases for a Pi 4 + the Waveshare SIM7600?
Many thanks
