Quectel RG500L-EU 5G NR module

Quectel Wireless Solutions has announced that its industrial-grade 5G NR module, RG500L-EU, has gained GCF certification for operating on global 5G NR networks, meaning it can help users to efficiently deploy their 5G high-speed IoT devices worldwide. Based on the MediaTek T750 platform, the module integrates a 5G NR FR1 modem and a quadcore Arm Cortex-A55 processor, helping users to improve their device processing performance.

The module supports dual carrier aggregation (2CC CA) at 200 MHz frequency band; this capability to combine available 5G spectrum assets can improve signal coverage and transmission rates. Additionally, the module can achieve a peak downlink rate of 4.67 Gbps and a peak uplink rate of 1.25 Gbps, bringing a smooth and fast 5G speed experience to end users. It supports EasyMesh and WPA3 R3 encryption protocol, enabling IoT devices with stable and secure wireless connections. The module also offers flexible Wi-Fi configuration combinations.

Featuring a compact design and low power consumption, the module can help users to reduce time-consuming procedures including fixed network and equipment installation. Its rich peripheral interfaces including SGMII, PCIe and PCM give users maximum flexibility in their IoT solution designs. In combination with Quectel’s QuecOpen platform, the product can improve user terminal development efficiency and accelerate time to market.

The module adopts an 8-antenna solution with four 2.7 GHz antennas and four n77/n78 dedicated antennas to provide terminals with stronger and more stable signals as well as higher peak download rates. It can additionally provide high-gain antennas covering n78 band to help with signal reception.

In addition to the GCF certification, the module has passed CE approval for the EU market as well as RCM approval for the Australian region. It has been used to develop a variety of terminals including mobile hotspots, customer premise equipment (CPE), outdoor unit (ODU) and other 5G converged gateways and industrial gateways, which have been deployed in areas like industrial monitoring, remote collaboration, videoconferencing, telemedicine, online education and many other fields.
