RM521F-GL

Overview

The RM521F-GL is a 5G module optimized specially for IoT/eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Release 16 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM521F is compatible with Quectel 5G module RM50xQ series, LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 modules EM12, EM12xR, EM120K series, and Cat 16 module EM160R-GL, which facilitates customers’ migration from LTE-A to 5G. RM521F-GL is industrial-grade for industrial and commercial applications only.

The RM521F-GL nearly covers all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS). 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 and digital signage.
