LTE Cat. 1 and Cat. 4 modules

9 November 2016 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Quectel announced two new IoT/M2M-optimised modules based on the MDM9x07 LTE modems from Qualcomm Technologies. The 4G/LTE Cat. 1 EC21 and the Cat. 4 EC25 modules will both be available in LCC module and miniPCIe form factors.

The EC21 series delivers enhanced power performance and M2M-optimised category 1 speeds up to 10 Mbps in the downlink and up to 5 Mbps in the uplink via highly efficient 4G LTE connectivity. These features make it ideal for numerous IoT applications taking advantage of the longevity and reliability of LTE networks. The EC21 supports Qualcomm IZat location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS).

The EC25 series supports LTE category 4 speeds up to 150 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up with 2G and 3G fallback. It is ideally suited for tablets, vehicle infotainment systems, ruggedised mobile terminals as well as high-speed M2M applications such as digital signage, mobile health and remote security, where backwards compatibility with 3G and 2G networks is desired. The EC25 supports the same GNSS functionality as the EC21.
