Supports T-Mobile Band 71 and AT&T FirstNet Band 14

Quectel EC25-AF is one modem in a series of LTE category 4 modules adopting standard PCI Express® Mini Card form factor (Mini PCI-E). It is optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications, and delivers 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates.

EC25 Mini PCI-E is available in 11 variants to assure backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks-for remote area applications lacking usable 4G or 3G coverage.

These modems are the EC25-AF North American version with the newest firmware which includes the new T-Mobile Band 71 and AT&T’s FirstNet Band 14.

EC25 Mini PCI-E supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product design, and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android/eCall*) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as industrial router, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.

NOTE: The current EM160R-GL modems are new Engineering Samples with the latest Firmware Revision: EM160RGLAUR02A04M4G.  Production versions DO NOT exist (As of Nov 2020).

NOT RECOMMENDED for use with the older versions M2M NEXG H721 due to this router’s high rate of burn out failures.  We will warranty NO modems that are used in the M2M NEXG H721 router. We have not tested the V5 version.

IMPORTANT:  Exercise extreme caution while installing MHF4 connectors to the modem antenna ports.  The ports are delicate and easily damaged.  Assure that the MHF4 connector is perfectly centered, level and aligned with the modem port.  The MFH4 connector will then snap into place using minimum pressure. Do not apply excessive force. 

A damaged modem connector port is not covered under warranty.

It is strongly recommended to invest in a quality power strip surge protector (i.e., APC, Belkin,…) to use behind a router and/or electronic equipment.  This will help protect against Transients (momentary spikes/surges in voltage or current) that can be detrimental to expensive equipment.  Transient damage to modems are not covered under warranty.  Protect your equipment!

M.2 Modem with 2 x Carrier Aggregation

Quectel EM06 is a series of LTE Advanced category 6 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 11 LTE technology, it delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 300Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink peak data rates.

Designed in the M.2 form factor, EM06 contains 3 variants (EM06-E, EM06-J, EM06-A) for different target regions and these variants nearly cover all the main stream carriers worldwide.  The EM06-A is the variant for North America.

EM06 supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS). The integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product design, and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, set top box, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage, etc.
