Quectel EG12-EA is a series of LTE Advanced category 12 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 12 LTE technology, it delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 600 Mbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink peak data rates. Designed in an LGA form factor, EG12 series is compatible with Quectel Cat 6/ 18 module series EG06/ EG18, which will help customers to migrate between different categories.

EG12 series supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9HT-Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated GNSS greatly simplifies 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 drivers for Windows 8.1/ 10/ 11, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as 4G router, CPE, wireless POS terminal, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC and video transmission.
