Quectel EG950A IoT/ M2M-optimized LTE Cat 4 Module - SATRON electronics
Quectel EG950A
IoT/ M2M-optimized LTE Cat 4 Module

Quectel EG950A is a series of LTE Cat 4 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-9 LTE technology, it delivers maximum data rates up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink. EC950A series is compatible with Quectel multi-mode LTE Standard EG91 and EG95 series modules.

EG950A series consists of two models: EG950A-EL and EG950A-LA, covering the frequency band of different countries and regions; EG950A series adopts the laser engraving process to ensure more good-looking appearance, strong metallic texture, better heat dissipation, durable label information, which makes it more suitable for automation requirements.

A rich set of network protocols, industry-standard interfaces, a variety of drivers and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows 7/ 8/ 8.1/ 10/ 11, Linux, Android and other operating systems) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications, such as IPC, CPE and gateway.
