Quectel RG500L is a series of 5G Sub-6 GHz LGA modules optimized specially for IoT and eMBB applications. By adopting the 3GPP Rel-15 technology, the module supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. It supports Option 3x, 3a, 3 and Option 2 network architectures and is backwards compatible with 4G/ 3G network.

RG500L Series is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only.

It includes 5 variants: RG500L-EU, RG500L-NA, RG500L-LA, RG500L-AR and RG500L-ARS. The module integrates a multi-constellation GNSS receiver that supports GPS, BDS, GLONASS and Galileo. It helps to simplify the product design and can achieve high-precision, fast, and dependable positioning.

RG500L Series has a quad-core CPU @ 2.0 GHz, and is integrated with network hardware accelerator and VPN hardware accelerator, which extend the applicability of the modules to a wide range of IoT and eMBB applications such as 5G wireless router, CPE, MiFi, industrial router, home gateway, etc.

Key Features:

  • 5G Sub-6 GHz LGA module with 4G (LTE Cat 19)/ 3G fallback, optimized for IoT and eMBB applications
  • Worldwide 5G, LTE-A and WCDMA coverage
  • Supports 5G NSA and SA modes
  • Supports 5G 2CC Carrier Aggregation
  • Spectrum multiplexing and significantly increased network capacity enabled with TM9
  • Multi-constellation GNSS receiver available for applications requiring fast and accurate positioning in any environment
