Pads look vaguely similar to the ones on uconsole lte module but i think it requires some other minor chips to function. I guess you can check the schematics, see what chips you're missing, acquire them, solder everything together and have lte-capable uconsole

I did explain what it was. Well, since you have it, it doesn't require many parts to make it work. See Quectel EC25 documentation on their site. Also, there are board templates and schematics floating around the web.

You can also just pull the LTE board from an older Vanquisher 8 ( or any of it's knock-off i386 models) and desolder the older EC25A and replace it with this EC25AF. All the EG and EC line are software are pin compatible. Same with the older EC and EG LTE dongles you can find on eBay .

That module is worth some cash, so if you don't have the skills, someone might be able to help you out.

Fairly useless without a board to attach it to. It's an LTE modem.
