Quectel UC15 UMTS/HSDPA Module

Quectel UC15 is a series of cost-effective UMTS/HSDPA module featuring a maximum data rate of 3.6Mbps downlink and 384Kbps uplink. Designed to be compatible with the Quectel GSM/GPRS M10 module in the compact and unified form factor, it provides a flexible and scalable platform for migrating from GSM/GPRS/EDGE to UMTS/HSDPA. This enables integrators and developers to design their applications once and take advantage of true worldwide coverage and service flexibility afforded by the combination of the two most prevalent cellular technologies worldwide.

The advanced LCC package allows fully automated manufacturing for high volume applications and copper-surfaced bottom design optimizes heat dissipation. The compact profile in cost-optimized SMT form factor and high integration level enable integrators and developers to easily design their applications and truly benefit from the module’s small size, low power consumption and mechanical intensity.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/ADC/NETLIGHT/PCM) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Windows CE, Linux, Android/eCall) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as automotive, smart metering, security, CPE and wireless POS.
