WARNING:
"M.2" (NGFF) cellullar modules are only supported when used with an appropriate "USB cellular carrier board" as these modules use the M.2 "B-Key" standard which is not supported directly on the compatible SBCs. They also require the use of external antennas which are generally not provided.
This is for the more *tech-savvy* individuals.
