I'm currently working on a project, and I need to operate the drone with my laptop using sdk, but I require more distance, I want to know how more distance I can get using the 4G LTE module before I buy it. Can someone help me?

4G / LTE is a cellular protocol. The range and performance is determined by the cellular carrier whose service you are paying for. You can use your smartphone as a good proxy for performance.

It would be best if you were comfortable with VPN and networking technologies before you try to build a cellular connected drone. There is know how and work involved.
