Quectel UC20
UMTS/HSPA+ Module
Build a Smarter World
Quectel UC20 is a series of powerful funcon UMTS/HSPA+ module oering a maximum data rate of 14.4Mbps downlink and
5.76Mbps uplink. UC20 is designed to provide customers with global network coverage on the connecvity of UMTS/HSPA+,
and is also fully backward compable with exisng EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks.
The compact prole of 32.0mm × 29.0mm × 2.5mm in cost opmized SMT form factor and high integraon level enable
integrators and developers to easily design their applicaons and truly benet from the module’s mul-feature, low power
consumpon and mechanical intensity. Its advanced LCC package allows fully automated manufacturing for high-volume
applicaons.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/PCM/ADC/NETLIGHT/SD/Rx-diversity) and abundant
funcons (USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Windows CE, Linux, Android/eCall/GNSS)
extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applicaons such as automove, smart metering, tracking
systems, security soluons, routers, wireless POS, mobile compung devices, PDA, and tablet PC.
Key
Benefits
Worldwide UMTS/HSDPA+ and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage
GNSS receiver available for applicaons requiring fast and accurate
xes in any locaon
High-quality data and image transmission even in harsh environ-
ment
Primary and diversity receive paths are designed for equivalent
noise-gure performance
Robust mounng and interfaces
Fast me-to-market: reference designs, evaluaon tools and mely
