5G Sub-6G Module, M.2 Form Factor With 3GPP 5G Release 16 Specification

The RM520N-GL is a 5G Sub-6GHz module specially optimized for IoT/EMBB applications. Adopts 3GPP Release 16 specification and supports 5G non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM520N-GL is compatible with Quectel RM50xQ 5G module series, LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 module EM12/EM12xR/EM120K series, and Cat 16 module EM160R-GL, facilitating migration from LTE-A to 5G. This module is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only.

The RM520N-GL series nearly covers all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The integrated multi-constellation high-precision GNSS receiver (supports GPS, GLONASS, BDS and Galileo) greatly simplifies the product design and provides quicker, more accurate positioning capability.

Built in a rich set of network protocols, integrates multiple industry-standard interfaces and supports multiple drivers and software functions (USB/PCIe drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, and Android), which can be adopted in a wide range of eMBB and IoT applications including industrial routers, home gateways, STB, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, industrial PDAs, rugged tablet PCs, video surveillance and digital signage.

• Designed for IoT/eMBB applications, support 5G/4G/3G, M.2 form factor
• Full coverage of multi network standards including 5G and LTE-A
• Supports NSA and SA modes
• Multi-constellation GNSS receiver available for applications requiring fast and accurate positioning in any environment
• Supports multi functions: DFOTA and VoLTE (optional)
• Supports 3GPP Release16
