Two drone mission computers list a SIM slot, and both are from Lambortech. One other drone computer, the InDro Pilot, has a built-in cellular modem, but I couldn't confirm that it has a SIM slot.

| Product | Jetson module | M.2 slots | Power input | Operating temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lambortech RMC-604 | Orin NX 8GB/16GB or Orin Nano 8GB | 3 (B-key 3042/3052, E-key 2230, M-key 2242) | 10–60 V | -25 to 50 °C (needs airflow; depends on installed peripherals) |
| Lambortech ECM002 | Orin NX 8GB/16GB Super | 4 (E-key 2230, 2× M-key 2230, B-key 3042/3052) | 12–36 V | 0 to 60 °C (needs airflow) |
- RMC-604 is a lightweight AI drone computer. It takes 10–60 VDC, which covers 3S–14S batteries, and has two GMSL-2 camera inputs. lambortech...lambortech.com ↗“10-60 VDC input for 3S-14S batteries and two GMSL-2 camera inputs”
- ECM002 is a compact UAV edge AI module. It has an IMU/magnetometer, four M.2 sockets and CAN bus, and is rated up to 157 TOPS in Super mode. lambortech...lambortech.com ↗“Super, up to 157 TOPS) with IMU/magnetometer, four M.2 sockets and CAN bus”
What I couldn't confirm for these two:
- Whether an LTE modem comes installed.
- Which M.2 slot a cellular module would go in.
- Which LTE modules are supported.
Lambortech's product pages linked above are the best place to check before you order.
Built-in cellular instead of a SIM slot: The InDro Pilot 5G Drone System combines a Quectel 4G/5G cellular modem with a Jetson-based edge processor. It's listed under Drone Mission Computers with 5G cellular, but I couldn't confirm a SIM slot or its other I/O. More details are on InDro Robotics' page. indrorobot... +1indrorobotics.ca ↗“4G/5G drone-operations module and ecosystem combining a Quectel cellular modem with a Jetson-based edge processor”indrorobotics.ca ↗“connectivity.cellular=5G”
The other 17 drone mission computers I found don't list SIM slot information at all. That means I can't tell whether they have one, not that they don't.
