Description

Quectel EG18-NA LGA Module is a LTE cat 18 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications, delivering M2M-optimized speeds of 1.2 Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink in LGA form factor

Quectel EG18-NA LGA Module Product Overview

Quectel EG18-NA LGA Module is a LTE cat 18 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications, delivering M2M-optimized speeds of 1.2 Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink in LGA form factor.EG18 is compatible with Quectel LTE Cat 6 module EG06 series and LTE Cat 12 module EG12 series, thereby helping customers to rapidly and flexibly design and upgrade products.

EG18 series includes two variants (EG18-EA and EG18-NA) which are designed for different target regions and nearly meet requirements of all the mainstream carriers worldwide. Quectel EG18-NA LGA Module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology: Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product designs, and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning functions.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as business router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC and video surveillance.
