Quectel EM05 LTE Cat4 Module

Quectel EM05 is an LTE category 4 module adopting standard M.2 (NGFF) form factor. The space-saving M.2 form factor allows EM05 to be easily integrated into smaller and thinner devices. With a maximum data rate of 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink, it is optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications.

Quectel LTE EM05 contains three variants: EM05-CE, EM05-CML and EM05-E*, which can provide data connectivity on LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, DC-HSDPA, HSPA+, HSDPA, HSUPA, WCDMA and CDMA networks.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Android/eCall*) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as industrial router, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.
