Add Cellular Data to a Gateway or Smart Device Over USB
Soracom Onyx LTE™ USB Cellular Modem is a high-performance communications device allowing cellular data connectivity for fixed and mobile applications.
Built for IoT and M2M applications
The Soracom Onyx provides a Quectel® EG25-G LTE Cat. 4 module, which features global 4G/LTE, 3G, and 2G cellular connectivity and is optimized specifically for IoT and M2M applications.
Integrates a modem and antenna, powered by the USB port
This means no extra accessories nor power supply are required to get the host device online. Two CRC9 connectors also allow external antenna connection. In a bad radio environment, you may extend out cables and place antennas away from the host device for better connectivity.
Connected by the powerful Soracom Global IoT SIM
The embedded modem features Soracom’s LTE band coverage and radio certifications for global use, providing connectivity almost anywhere in the world right out of the box.
Just Plug It In And Start Coding
We designed the Soracom Onyx to make it as quick and simple as possible to start developing connected products. It’s perfect for whether you’re building a prototype, or if you’re scaling your IoT tech out to thousands of different devices.

The easiest way of adding cellular IoT connectivity to devices that don’t feature a SIM card slot.
This means no extra accessories nor power supply are required to get the host device online. Two CRC9 connectors also allow external antenna connection. In a bad radio environment, you may extend out cables and place antennas away from the host device for better connectivity.
The device satisfies all network & RF requirements for cellular connectivity by itself, which makes it radio-certified as an end product. By using the Onyx LTE™ USB hardware, you can avoid getting additional radio certifications and immediately deploy your IoT system in the field.
The embedded modem features global LTE band coverage and radio certifications for global use. This single SKU + our global SIM can provide connectivity almost anywhere in the world, without having to modify the system.Learn More About The Soracom IoT SIM
The built-in application protocols such as TCP, UDP, PPP, FTP, HTTP, and MQTT allow devices to integrate into various system architectures and cloud services quickly without the need for custom code.
Over 20,000 businesses around the world rely on Soracom for secure IoT connectivity.
