Compatible modules include the Arduino Pro 4G Module (EMEA / GNSS Global), which provides LTE Cat.4 speeds of up to 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload. The Portenta Max Carrier supports modem integration via the Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) and raw AT command based communication. Users can configure the module using Linux commands or the Arduino Linux Wizard for simplified setup. For detailed implementation process, please refer to the [user manual of the Portenta Max Carrier](https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-max-carrier/user-manual/)

An external power source of 6V to 36V is required to use the Mini PCIe slot to maintain stable operation, especially for high-power consumption applications. To enable the Mini PCIe interface on the Portenta Max Carrier, power the PCIE ENABLE (PWM6) pin with 3.3 V and install a compatible Mini PCIe module, such as the Pro 4G GNSS Module Global (SKU: TPX00200) or Pro 4G EMEA (SKU: TPX00201) Module. The PCIE ENABLE (PWM6) is the 33rd pin of the High-Density Connector (HDC) Stacker Connector (J5).
For stable Mini PCIe operation, jumper cables compliant with ASTM B 258 and support up to 2 A of current are recommended (Cables with a cross-sectional area of 0.82 mm² to 1.3 mm² (AWG 18-16)).
