The Victron GX LTE 4G-E is a cellular modem accessory that gives Victron GX devices a 4G LTE data connection for the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal. It suits sites where Ethernet or Wi-Fi is not an option, from off-grid cabins to boats and construction compounds.

Key features

• Connectivity, 4G LTE on European bands, suitable for UK and EU installations.
• Interface, connects via USB to a compatible GX device, drawing power from the USB port so no separate supply is needed.
• VRM integration, links to the Victron VRM portal for remote monitoring, alerts and configuration.
• SIM, takes a nano-SIM card with a data plan, not included.
• Weight, 0.08 kg.
• Setup, recognised automatically by Venus OS on supported firmware, with APN entered through the GX device menu.

Product overview

Plug the modem into a Cerbo GX, Venus GX or other GX device running Venus OS and it provides a cellular uplink for continuous VRM logging: energy production, consumption, battery state of charge and alarms, viewable from anywhere with internet access. A low-cost IoT or M2M SIM is normally enough for typical VRM data volumes.

Applications

Used on off-grid solar systems without broadband, marine and narrowboat installations, motorhomes and emergency vehicles, agricultural sites, and temporary construction power setups where VRM oversight is needed but no wired network exists.

Installation notes

Confirm the GX device is running a Venus OS version that supports the LTE modem, and check cellular signal at the site before specifying it. A nano-SIM with an active data plan must be sourced separately, and APN settings entered to match the provider. The wider power system should be installed and commissioned by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer.
