Quectel RG520F is a series of 5G Sub-6 GHz LGA modules optimized specially for IoT and eMBB applications. Adopting the
3GPP Rel-16 technology, it delivers maximum data rates up to 4.0 Gbps downlink and 900 Mbps uplink. 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
network. It is pin-to-pin compatible with Quectel 5G module RG50xQ series and LTE-A Cat 12 module EG512R-EA. The
module can meet customers’ different application demands for high speed, large capacity, low latency, high reliability, etc.
RG520F series module is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only.
RG520F series contains three variants: RG520F-EU, RG520F-EB and RG520F-NA. It supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location
technology Gen 9VT (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 PDAs, rugged tablet PCs, and video transmission.
