Quectel EG91 LTE Cat1 Module

Quectel EG91 is a series of LTE category 1 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. It features cost-effective and low power LTE connectivity, and delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 10Mbit/s downlink and 5Mbit/s uplink. These make EG91 an ideal solution for numerous IoT applications that are not reliant on high speed connectivity but still require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks.

Quectel EG91 is fallback pin-to-pin compatible with Quectel UMTS/HSPA+ UG95/UG96 and Cat M1/Cat NB1 BG96 modules. This makes it backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks, ensuring that it can easily migrate from 2G/3G to 4G networks.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows 7/8/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as smart metering, wearable devices, environmental monitoring, asset tracking, fleet management, security and alarm systems, and so on.
