Where can I write to get the first samples?

This board is probably not yet for sale. If it is available for purchase, there should be a purchase link on the official website.

any updates on the progress of the R4-Mini?

Hi @sinovoip,

You mentioned in December that mass production would start in Q1 2026. We’re now at the end of Q1 — is the R4 Mini still on track?

I’m looking to buy one as soon as it’s available. I’ll be using it with a Quectel RM530N-GL 5G modem in the M.2 B-key slot, running OpenWrt/ROOter.

A few questions:

  1. When will it be available to order?
  2. What’s the expected price?
  3. Will it be sold on AliExpress and Amazon, or only through certain resellers?
  4. Can you confirm the M.2 B-key slot supports both USB3.0 and PCIe3.0 for 5G modules?

Thanks!

I wrote to them by email about this and they told me that if the testing is completed successfully, then it is best to expect mass sales in the fall of this year.
