Quectel RM500Q is a 5G module optimized specially for IoT/eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 15 LTE technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM500Q is compatible with Quectel LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 module EM12 and Cat 20 module EM20, which will facilitate customers to migrate from LTE-A to 5G.
The global version RM500Q-GL nearly covers all the main stream carriers worldwide. The module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies product design and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB/PCIe drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.
