Quectel RG525F-NA is a 5G Sub-6 GHz 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/3 and Option 2 network architectures , and is compatible with the 4G network. It is compatible with Quectel 5G module RG50xQ series, and LTE-A module EG512R-EA (while some additional pins are added to RG525F-NA). It can meet customers’ different application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency, high reliability, etc.

RG525F-NA is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only

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) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of IoT and eMBB applications such as business routers, home gateway, STB, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PCs and video surveillance.
