The EM12-G is an LTE Cat 12 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Release 12 specification which delivers peak data speeds of 600Mbps downlink and 150Mbps uplink. Designed in an M.2 form factor, the EM12-G is compatible with Quectel’s category 6 module EM06 and future category 16 module EM16 to enable migration between different categories. EM12-G is designed for global and nearly covers all the main stream carriers worldwide.

The EM12-G supports Qualcomm  IZat location technology Gen9HT Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) and the optional multi-constellation GNSS receiver 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 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Android) allow the module to serve a wide range of IoT applications such as industrial routers, home gateways, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, industrial PDAs, rugged tablet PCs, video transmission, and digital signage.
