Wireless Quectel RM50XQ 5g In M.2 315 5G IoT Modem-RF System

Quectel RM50xQ are a series of 5G modules optimized specially for IoT/eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Release 15 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM50xQ series modules are compatible with Quectel LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 modules EM12-G/EM120R-GL/EM121R-GL, and Cat 16 module EM160R-GL, which facilitates customers’ migration from LTE-A to 5G. RM50xQ series are industrial-grade modules for industrial and commercial applications only. The globally applicable RM50xQ series nearly covers all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS and Galileo). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies the product design and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB and PCIe drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of eMBB and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.

The RM50xQ is a series of 5G sub-6GHz M.2 modules measuring 52.0mm × 30.0mm × 2.3mm which meets the 3GPP Release 15 specification and is optimized for industrial and commercial IoT and eMBB applications. It supports both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes and delivers maximum downlink rates of 2.5Gbps and maximum uplink rates of 900Mbps. It is compatible with Quectel’s LTE-A category 6 module EM06, category 12 modules EM12 & EM120R-GL, and category 16 module EM160R-GL , enabling customers to migrate from LTE-A to 5G. The series consists of five variants to meet varied geographical requirements, which can be compared via the table above. The RM50xQ supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass, Galileo and QZSS), and the integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies product design and makes positioning capabilities quicker and more accurate.
