n0d3 b0x v2 is the first OIAP box capable of aggregating OIAP network and 4G speed in order to offer you ever more efficient speeds and optimal user comfort. As soon as your OIAP acces slows down, 4G takes over!

n0d3 b0x v2 has the most powerful and powerful processor (Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz) ever integrated into a OIAP box. Almost oversized, it is tailored to manage all the appliances in your home. All this, without the slightest risk of overheating.

The n0d3 b0x v2 comes with Gigabit Ethernet, along with onboard wireless networking (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz IEEE 802.11ac), bluetooth (5.0, BLE), LTE modem (optimized for M2M and IoT - Category 4 delivers 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink data rates), and a GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) receiver.

The n0d3 b0x v2 always safely powered with an industry-grade solution of Power Management & UPS

The n0d3 b0x v2 is powered by b0x OS a hardening Linux OS based on Debian 10 buster release.

We’re making different variants of the n0d3 b0x v2 available, depending on how much RAM you need - 4GB, or 8GB (in option).

  2. Easy-to-use, simple setup, plug-and-play
  3. QMI and PPP are supported (QMI is recommended)
  4. Clip-in Mini PCIe socket compatible with worldwide LTE, UMTS/HSPA+ and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage with regional or global modules which work with different frequencies & carriers
  5. With the 4G/LTE Module (e.g Quectel EC25) you can reach 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates. And the 3G Module( e.g Quectel UC20) delivers the maximum data rate of 14.4Mbps downlink and 5.76Mbps uplink.
  6. Micro SIM Card socket can easily reachable on the upside of the HAT.
  7. Can be used standalone with PC/Laptop over micro USB, without stacking with Raspberry Pi.
  8. The HAT can be powered from an external 5V source by exposed power pins, directly from Raspberry Pi 5V GPIO headers, via micro USB, or optional JST connector on the bottom of the board. A specially designed 90-degree right angle micro USB cable is included to package.
