Quectel EG120K is a series of LTE advanced Cat 12 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-12 LTE technology, it delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 600Mbps downlink and 150Mbps uplink peak data rates.  It contains 3 variants: EG120K-EA, EG120K-NA and EG120K-LA.

Designed in an LGA form factor, EG120K series is compatible with Quectel module EG06/ EG12/ EG18 (Cat 6/ 12/ 18), which will help customers to migrate between different categories.

The EG120K series covers nearly all mainstream carriers in the world. It is embedded with a multi-constellation and high-sensitivity GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BDS and Galileo) receiver for positioning. 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 7/ 8/ 8.1/ 10/ 11, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial routers, home gateways, set-top boxes, industrial PDAs, rugged tablet PCs and digital signage.
