Quectel AG581A 5G NR Cat19 Module

Quectel AG581A series is a vehicle-grade 5G NR Cat19 module developed by Quectel, supporting both 5G NR Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) modes. This module utilizes 3GPP Rel-16 technology, capable of achieving a maximum downlink speed of 7.01 Gbps and an uplink speed of 2.5 Gbps in 5G NSA mode. In LTE networks, it can support up to 1.6 Gbps downlink speed and 211 Mbps uplink speed. The AG581A series is widely applicable in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) field, providing reliable solutions for the establishment of smart vehicles, autonomous driving, and intelligent transportation systems. Additionally, the module supports dual SIM dual active (DSDA) and optional dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) features, along with a rich set of functional interfaces, greatly facilitating application development for customers. Its exceptional ESD and EMI protection capabilities ensure robust performance in harsh environments.

Quectel AG581A series includes four models: AG581A-CN, AG581A-EU, AG581A-NA/AG581A-ROW, catering to market demands in regions such as China and Europe. It is backward compatible with existing GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks, allowing connectivity in areas without deployed 5G NR networks or in remote areas lacking 3G/4G network coverage.

Quectel AG581A series supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology, using multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver ends in the same frequency band to significantly reduce the bit error rate and improve communication quality. The module supports GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo) and, combined with its optional ADR and dual-band GNSS receiver (L1 + L5), provides quicker, more accurate, and reliable positioning services while simplifying product design.

This module offers safe and reliable connected vehicle solutions for automotive manufacturers and tier-one automotive component suppliers, as well as intelligent and flexible autonomous vehicle manufacturing solutions for carmakers. It can be widely applied in telematics units (T-Box), telematics control units (TCU), Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), C-V2X (V2V, V2I, V2P) systems, onboard units (OBU), roadside units (RSU), and other smart connected automotive and manufacturing fields.
