Quectel RG650E
IoT/ eMBB-Optimized 5G Sub-6 GHz LGA Module
  • 5G/4G/3G multi-mode module with LGA form factor, optimized for IoT and eMBB applications
  • Both NSA and SA modes supported
  • Worldwide 5G, LTE-A and 3G coverage
  • Multi-constellation GNSS receiver available for applications requiring fast and accurate fixes in any environment
  • Feature refinements: DFOTA and VoNR / VoLTE (optional)

Quectel’s RG650E is a series of 5G LGA modules optimized especially for IoT and eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-17 technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes with Option 3x/ 3a/ 3 and Option 2 network architectures and is backward compatible with 4G/ 3G networks. The module can meet customers’ different application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency, high reliability, etc.

The RG650E series is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only. It 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, Linux and Android) extend the module’s applicability to a wide range of IoT and eMBB applications, such as business routers, home gateways, STBs, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, industrial PDAs, and rugged tablet PCs.
