### Cellular Connectivity
126121
The **Arduino® Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield** provides access to various cellular networks via the TX62-W Module (U1). It is possible to connect an external cellular antenna via a micro UFL connector (J7). Both SMS and data transfer functionality are provided. SMS messages can be stored in the SIM card module. The modem is addressable via AT commands. Modem status is provided by the RGB LED (DL1). The input impedance for the cellular antenna is 50Ω.

Please be aware that the Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield is not certified as an end device by all cellular network providers.
132133

133134
If you encounter difficulties with network connection, we recommend checking with your service provider to verify if End-Device certification is required for network access. Switching to a provider that does not have such requirements may resolve these issues.

135136
We advise reviewing this compatibility information during setup to ensure optimal device performance and to prevent potential service interruptions.

Four major GNSS systems are supported by the **Arduino® Portenta Cat. M1/NB IoT GNSS Shield**. NMEA protocol is used for the transmission of GNSS information. An active antenna can be connected via the micro UFL connector (J8) and should have a bias voltage of 3.0V. The input impedance for the GNSS antenna connector is 50Ω. For compatibility with all GNSS systems, the antenna should support bands over 1559 - 1606 MHz frequency range.
