Digi 1002-CMG4-GLB Core Plug-In LTE Modem, Global Cat 4 with 3G/2G Fallback

The Digi 1002-CMG4-GLB packages cellular connectivity as a replaceable component. Built on Digi's CORE plug-in module system, it delivers LTE Cat 4 service on global bands, with 3G and 2G fallback for regions and sites where LTE coverage thins. The module slides into supported Digi routers, letting the same router hardware serve deployments across countries and carrier environments. LTE Cat 4 is the workhorse class for IoT and M2M: rated for downlink speeds appropriate to telemetry, point-of-sale, kiosk, and monitoring workloads at plan costs far below premium modem tiers. The global band configuration is the operative feature for multinational estates—one SKU covers installations across regions, simplifying purchasing, sparing, and RMA logistics compared to managing per-region router variants. The 3G/2G fallback matters in markets where legacy networks still carry meaningful rural coverage. The CORE architecture's larger value is lifecycle separation. Routers outlast cellular technology generations; with the radio in a plug-in module, a deployed fleet upgrades or re-regionalizes by swapping CORE modules rather than replacing routers—preserving mounts, wiring, and configurations. For distributed IoT operators, that converts a forklift refresh into a field-swap program. Listed shipping weight is 0.25 lb. Confirm your Digi router model's CORE module compatibility and regional carrier certifications before ordering; SIM and service are arranged separately with your carriers.
