Quectel RM500U-CNV 5G Sub-6 GHz M.2 Module

Quectel RM500U-CNV is a 5G Sub-6 GHz module specifically optimized for IoT/ eMBB/ URLLC applications. With the 3GPP Release 15/ Release 16 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes, and makes it backward compatible with the 4G/ 3G network. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM500U series is compatible with Quectel 5G RM500Q series modules.

Quectel RM500U-CNV is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only.

Quectel RM500U-CNV provides a rich set of built-in network protocols, integrates industry-standard interfaces and supports multiple drivers and software functions (such as USB/ PCIe drivers for Windows, Linux and Android operating systems). It has greatly expanded its application scope in IoT/ eMBB/ URLLC, such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video transmission and digital signage.
