Quectel’s RG255AA is a series of 5G Redcap sub-6GHz LGA modules. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-17 RedCap technology, with features of 5G LAN*/URLLC*/slicing*, the module supports a theoretical peak data rate of 226 Mbps in the downlink and 120 Mbps in the uplink. The module supports LTE Cat 4 and 5G Sub-6 SA mode, and is backward compatible with Rel-15 and Rel-16 networks. The module is partially compatible with Quectel 4G module EC2x series modules with smaller sizes, which can meet customers’ different application demands for medium speed, large capacity, low latency, high reliability, etc., and is convenient for customers to design.

RG255AA is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only. RG255AA currently contains two models: RG255AA-CN and RG255AA-EU, which meet the frequency band coverage of different countries and regions. The module employs laser engraving technology, featuring exquisite appearance, a strong metallic texture, improved heat dissipation, information that is difficult to erase, and greater adaptability to automation requirements.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB 2.0, PCIe 2.0, PCM, UART, RGMII, SPI, etc.) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 10/ 11, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of RedCap applications.

Key Features:

  • LGA form factor, small size
  • Worldwide 5G/4G coverage
  • 5G SA mode, with 5G LAN*/URLLC*/slicing* features
  • Feature refinements: DFOTA and VoNR/VoLTE (optional)
  • PCIe 2.0 interface for Wi-Fi
