IoT/eMBB-Optimized 5G Sub-6 GHz LGA Module
  • 5G sub-6GHz module
  • LGA form factor
  • 46.0mm x 53.0mm x 3.05mm
  • Max. data rates of 7.01Gbps (DL) / 2.5Gbps (UL)
  • Extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C

Quectel RG660QB series modules are 5G LGA modules optimized specially for IoT and eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-18 technology, they support both 5G NSA and SA modes with Option 3x/3a/3 and Option 2 network architectures, and are backward compatible with 4G/3G networks. The module can meet customers’ different application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency, high reliability, etc.

RG660QB series modules are industrial-grade, for industrial and commercial applications only.

The RG660QB series supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies product design and provides a 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 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 transmission.

Key Features:

  • 5G/4G/3G multi-mode module, optimized for IoT and eMBB applications
  • LGA package compatible with RG650x series
  • Wi-Fi 7 supported
  • Multi-constellation GNSS receiver (optional) for applications requiring fast and accurate fixes in any environment
  • Feature refinements: FOTA and VoNR/VoLTE (optional)
