 ==== LTE modem ====
-For a spot with no Ethernet and no Wi-Fi at all: a mast in a field, a rooftop without a cable run, a vehicle. Instead of bridging to somebody else's network, the receiver brings its own — a **SIMCom A7670E** cellular modem on a BKP-A7670 breakout, connected over UART and speaking PPP. No second ESP32, no router, nothing but power and a SIM.
+For a spot with no Ethernet and no Wi-Fi at all: a mast in a field, a rooftop without a cable run, a vehicle. Instead of bridging to somebody else's network, the receiver brings its own — a **SIMCom A7670E** cellular modem on the AND BKP-A7670E breakout, connected over UART and speaking PPP.
+**Watch out when buying:** it comes in regional and feature variants that differ in the LTE bands and in whether GNSS is fitted — this one is an **A7670E-MASA**, European bands with GNSS.
 Wiring is three jumper wires and no soldering if the breakout's header is populated; the board's TXD and RXD are 3.3 V TTL, so no level shifter is needed either:

 //Three jumper wires link the modem breakout to the ESP32-C5; the orange cable is the modem's own USB power supply. Note the three antennas that have to share the space: LTE (flat patch, left), GNSS (square ceramic, top right) and the receiver's own 5.9 GHz antenna (white, right).//
