Quectel EG12 LTE-A Cat12 LGA Module

Quectel EG12 is a series of LTE Advanced category 12 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 12 LTE technology, it delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 600 Mbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink peak data rates.

Designed in an LGA form factor, Quectel EG12 is compatible with Quectel Cat 6/18 module series EG06/EG18, which will help customers to migrate between different categories.

Quectel EG12 series supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9HT-Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated GNSS 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 drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as 4G router, CPE, wireless POS terminal, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC and video transmission.
