Quectel RG520F 5G Sub-6GHz LGA Module

Quectel's RG520F is a series of 5G Sub-6GHz LGA modules optimized specially for IoT and eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-16 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes with Option 3x/3a and Option 2 network architectures, which makes it backwards compatible with 4G/ 3G network. It is pin-to-pin compatible with Quectel’s 5G module RG50xQ series and LTE-A Cat 12 module EG512R-EA.

Quectel RG520F series is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only and can meet various customer application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency, and high reliability.

Quectel RG520F series contains three variants: RG520F-EB, RG520F-EU and RG520F-NA. It supports Qualcomm IZat location technology Gen 9VT (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies product design and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB 2.0/3.0/3.1, PCIe 3.0, PCM, UART, etc.) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of IoT and eMBB applications such as business routers, home gateway, STB, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, video transmission, industrial PDAs, and rugged tablet PCs.
