Quectel’s RG525F-NA is a 5G Sub-6GHz LGA module optimized specially for IoT and eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-16 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes with Option 3x/3a and Option 2 network architectures, which makes it backward compatible with 4G networks. It is compatible with Quectel’s 5G modules from the RG50xQ series, and the LTE-A module EG512R-EA (some additional pins are added to the RG525F-NA).
The RG525F-NA is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only and can meet various customer application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency, and high reliability.
The RG525F-NA supports Qualcomm IZat location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated 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 (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, video transmission, industrial PDAs, and rugged tablet PCs.
