Bringing Global Communications to Embedded Platforms
In today’s totally global economy, the last thing that anybody wants is a barrier to sales when exporting their product. Quectel have now enabled companies to build globally approved products with 4G LTE CAT1 and CAT4 modems, using the EG21-G and EG25-G easy-to-use MINI PCIe cards with integrated SIM holder (optional) or solder-down modules. Both of these modules have been optimised for today’s ever expanding Internet of Things (IoT) requirements supporting Worldwide LTE CAT1 and CAT4 with UMTS/HSPA(+) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE in an easy-to-use industry standard MINI PCIe form factor. These modules support antenna diversity and on-board Multi Constellation GNSS engine; all connected via industry standard plug-in MINIPCIe & U.FL connectors. A vast range of high performance antennas to support these services are readily available from Solid State Supplies.
Regarding performance in terms of communication speed, the LTE CAT1 & CAT4 supports speeds of 10 Mbps (DL) / 5Mbps(UL) and 150 Mbps (DL) / 50Mbps(UL) respectively. These modules also support a rich set of internet protocols, industry standard interfaces and a wide range of functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android/eCall*). Software features include USB Serial Driver: Windows, Windows CE, Linux & Android, RIL Driver, NDIS Driver, ECM Driver*, Gobinet Driver, QMI_WWAN Driver and a comprehensive and expanding range of Protocols.
