Quectel RG520N Series
IoT/ eMBB-Optimized 5G Sub-6 GHz LGA Module

5G sub-6GHz module
LGA form factor
41mm × 44mm × 2.75mm
SA data rates: 2.4Gbps (DL)/900Mbps (UL)
NSA data rates: 3.4Gbps (DL)/550Mbps (UL)
Extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C

The RG520N is a series of 5G sub-6 GHz LGA modules optimized specially for IoT and eMBB applications. Based on the 3GPP Release 16 specification, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes with Option 3x/3a and Option 2 network architectures, and is backwards compatible with 4G/3G networks. It is pin-to-pin compatible with Quectel's 5G RG50xQ series and LTE-A Cat 12 EG512-EA.

The RG520N series contains two variants: the RG520N-EU and the RG520N-NA. It supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS), and the integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies product design and provides quicker, more accurate, and more dependable positioning capability.

The module can meet a variety of customer application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency and high reliability. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB 2.0/3.0/3.1, PCIe 3.0, PCM, UART, etc.) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Linux and Android) allow the module to serve a wide range of IoT and eMBB applications such as business routers, home gateway, STB, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, industrial PDAs, rugged tablet PCs, and video security systems.

Key Features:

5G/4G/3G multi-mode module with LGA form factor, optimized for IoT and eMBB applications
Worldwide 5G and LTE-A coverage
5G NSA and SA modes
Multi-constellation GNSS receiver available for applications requiring fast and accurate fixes in any environment
Feature refinements: DFOTA and VoLTE (optional)
