NO Confidence markings have been screencaptured as a FYI. Those pieces of information are available via link below but do not contain any photos of the actual unit as they are under lock until a November Date.

The Telematics Control Module stops by the FCC for approval: https://fccid.io/2AW3A-1NAT20TCM Some key features are their Communication Bands used to talk with the "ON-STAR" Like services.

The Telematics Control Module (TCM) is a connectivity module integrated into a vehicular application.

From Phone Arena in terms of Bands: Looks like the Service Provider could be Verizon based on the WCDMA as only Verizon and Sprint use CDMA and none of Sprints frequencies (although now they are T-Mobile) have been listed.

A little bit of digging seems to indicate that the modem component of this SOC implementation is only 4G capable, not 5G. Beyond an integrated hotspot, I'm not sure how much that impact that will have - likely none.

If its verizon I am totally alright with that, have done some speed tests in almost all parts of the USA verizon hands down has the best network especially in places that are co-located with a RAN charger.

What does the part at the very end mean? What are they marketing 1 year from now?

...until the actual marketing of our new device, which is planned for June 2021

TLDR they want to keep the documentation secret until this month when they unveil the product officially apparently.

This information could've been gleaned before this FCC Easter egg because Rivian has told us quite clearly it is the case on their website

Correct, they have always stated this, I simply put its actually happening for approval overall at the FCC and the bands tell us who their CSP maybe!

How about in 5 years? 5G only started to be piloted in 2019.

How much do you know about 5g? Its broken down into MM wave technology with High Frequency and Low Frequency. Each provider has their own band, for example Low Frequency is on T-Mobile which has slightly higher data speeds at peak compared to T-Mobiles 4g LTE which is pretty slow comparatively to Verizons 4g. Verizon's 5g is High Frequency MM wave technology that requires you to be within a few hundred yards of their antennas (for now), last time I checked they didnt buy more of the spectrum but until they by the low end of things 4g will be at least the standard for another 5 years Id imagine before their infrastructure gets rebuilt.

In terms of the vehicle I wouldn't even care/worry as peak 4g LTE speeds have been very fast and fast enough to do what you need to do and then some (stream movies, data etc).

4G will still be relevant for at least another decade.
