Quectel RG255C series 5G RedCap LGA/M.2/Mini PCIe Module

Quectel RG255C is a series of small LGA modules based on 3GPP Release 17 RedCap (reduced capacity) technology which supports 5G SA modes and is backwards-compatible with the 4G network. The module supports a theoretical peak data rate of 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink, while also supporting advanced 5G features such as URLLC and power saving. It is compatible with Quectel's EG2x 4G modules.

Quectel RG255C is designed for the global market and covers nearly all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The module supports L1+L5 precise and power-optimized positioning. 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 (USB 2.0, PCIe 2.0, SGMII, I2C, GPIO etc.) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows, Linux and Android) allow the module to serve a wide range of applications such as industrial automation, smart cities, smart energy, wearable devices and mid-speed mobile broadband devices.
