RG255C-GL M.2 is a 5G sub-6 GHz M.2 module. Based on 3GPP Rel-17 RedCap technology, with features of 5G LAN*/ URLLC/ Slicing, the module supports a theoretical peak data rate of 223 Mbps downlink and 123 Mbps 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 can meet customers’ different application demands for medium speed, large capacity, low latency, high reliability, etc., and is convenient for customers to design.

RG255C-GL M.2 module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen 9VT (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and NavlC). 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, PCIe 2.0, PCM, etc.) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 8.1/ 10/ 11, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of RedCap applications.
