Easiest way to get SIM card to CCGX for remote access?

I'm struggling hard to figure out the easiest way to connect the CCGX to wifi, via a SIM card for remote monitoring. It looks like the best solution is the GX GSM 4G (assuming the CCGX can use 4g?). But are there any other ways of inserting a SIM into the CCGX? A sim card USB dongle?


We already have the CCGX long range wifi module, but it is useless without a 4G network connection.

Hi @Richie Trent

I think this is what you're looking for.

GX LTE 4G - Victron Energy

Just found this on the below link:

"Note that the Cerbo GX does not support USB 3G/4G dongles, other than the GX GSM and GX LTE 4G accessories available from Victron."

3. Internet connectivity (victronenergy.com)

Alternatively you could get a 4g router (can get pretty small ones nowadays) and connect CCGX to it via wifi, but that's not the easiest solution.

Exactly, but how would you connect the router to the CCGX via wifi? The CCGX does not have it's own internal wifi like the Cerbo GX.
