Quectel 4G Modules

Quectel EG915Q

IoT/M2M-optimized LTE Cat 1 bis Module

LGA form factor
23.6 mm × 19.9 mm × 2.4 mm
2.3 g
Max. data rates of 10 Mbps DL and 5 Mbps UL
Extended temperature range -40°C to +85°C

Quectel EG915Q series is a series of LTE Cat 1 bis modules optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-14 LTE technology, it delivers maximum data rates up to 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink. Designed in a compact and unified form factor, EG915Q series is compatible with Quectel LPWA BG95 series/BG96/ BC95-G modules and LTE Standard EG91/ EG95 series modules.

The EG915Q series contains 3 variants: EG915Q-NA, EG915Q-JP and EG915Q-AF. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows 8.1/ 10/ 11, Linux, and Android) extend the applicability of the modules to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications, such as asset management, commercial telematics, payment, RMAC (remote monitoring and control applications), smart safety and automation, smart metering and smart grid.

Note:
1. ➀: Both USIM1 and USIM2 interfaces support 1.8 V USIM cards only, when the USIM2 interface is enabled.
2. ➁: Camera SPI and USIM2 are multiplexing pins, so they cannot be used at the same time.
3. ➂: GNSS UART, GNSS debug UART and GNSS antenna interfaces are optional.
4. *: Under development/ in progress.
5. ●: Supported.
