4G LTE click is an LTE Cat 1 multimode cellular network solution, featuring the compact LARA-R2 series modem from u-blox. This module supports up two LTE bands. It also features a full range of options for the high speed cellular networking and communication, such as the network indication, full embedded TCP/UDP stack, HTTP and HTTPS transfer protocols, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support, secondary antenna for the RX diversity, antenna detection, jamming signal detection, embedded TLS 1.2 protocol for the improved security and more. 4G LARA click can achieve data rates up to 10.3 Mbps/5.2 Mbps (downlink/uplink).

We provide a library for the C4GLTENA Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for C4GLTENA Click driver.
c4gltena_cfg_setupConfig Object Initialization function.
void c4gltena_cfg_setup ( c4gltena_cfg_t *cfg );c4gltena_initInitialization function.
err_t c4gltena_init ( c4gltena_t *ctx, c4gltena_cfg_t *cfg );c4gltena_module_power_onThis function powers ON the module.
void c4gltena_module_power_on ( c4gltena_t *ctx );c4gltena_send_cmd_with_parameterThis function sends a command with specified parameter to the click module.
void c4gltena_send_cmd_with_parameter ( c4gltena_t *ctx, char *at_cmd_buf, char *param_buf );c4gltena_send_cmd_parameter_checkThis function checks the command that is sent.
void c4gltena_send_cmd_parameter_check ( c4gltena_t *ctx, char *at_cmd_buf );This example reads and processes data from 4G LTE NA click.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and powers up the module, then sets default configuration for connecting the device to network.
void application_init ( void ) {
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
c4gltena_cfg_t c4gltena_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.

}In order for the example to work, user needs to set the phone number to which he wants to send an SMS, and also will need to set an APN and SMSC (required for PDU mode only) of entered SIM card. Enter valid data for the following macros: SIM_APN, SIM_SMSC and PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE.
E.g.
- SIM_APN "vipmobile"
- SIM_SMSC "+381610401"
- PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE "+381659999999"
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.4GLTENA
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
