Description
xVictron Energy GX LTE 4G-E
The GX LTE 4G-E is a cellular modem accessory for Victron GX devices, providing 4G LTE connectivity for remote monitoring and system management via the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal. It is designed for installations where a wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection is unavailable or impractical, such as off-grid sites, marine vessels and remote commercial installations.
Key Features
- 4G LTE cellular connectivity for Victron GX devices, enabling remote monitoring without a local network connection.
- Compatible with the Victron VRM portal for real-time data logging, system alerts and remote configuration.
- Connects directly to a GX device via USB, requiring no additional power supply.
- Supports European LTE bands (4G-E variant), suitable for UK and EU deployments.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.08 kg, suitable for installation in confined enclosures.
- Plug-and-play setup with GX devices running compatible Venus OS firmware.
Product Overview
The GX LTE 4G-E connects to any compatible Victron GX device (such as the Cerbo GX or Venus GX) via USB and provides a cellular data uplink to the VRM portal. This allows installers and system owners to monitor energy production, consumption, battery state of charge, and alarm conditions from any location with internet access. For sites where broadband or Wi-Fi is not available, this modem is the practical solution for maintaining continuous VRM connectivity.
The 4G-E variant is configured for European LTE frequency bands, making it appropriate for installations across the UK and EU. The modem requires a standard nano-SIM card with a data plan, which is not included. Data usage is modest under normal VRM logging conditions, so a low-cost IoT or M2M SIM is typically sufficient. The device draws power directly from the GX device's USB port, so no separate power wiring is needed.
Setup is handled through the GX device interface once the modem is connected and a SIM is inserted. Venus OS recognises the modem automatically on supported firmware versions, and APN configuration can be entered via the GX device menu. No additional drivers or software installation is required on the GX device side.

Installation Notes
The GX LTE 4G-E connects via USB to a compatible Victron GX device and requires a nano-SIM card with an active data plan, which must be sourced separately. Ensure the GX device is running a Venus OS firmware version that supports the LTE modem before installation. APN settings must be configured to match the SIM provider. While the physical connection is straightforward, the overall system (inverter, battery, solar) should be installed and commissioned by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Cellular signal availability at the installation site should be confirmed prior to specifying this modem.
