Quectel EC20
Multi-mode LTE Module
Build a Smarter World
EC20 series is a new generaon of Quectel LTE module. Adopng the 3GPP Rel. 9 LTE technology, it delivers 100Mbps
downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates and is fallback compable with Quectel UMTS/HSPA+ UC20 module in the compact
and unied form factor, providing a exible and scalable plaorm for migrang from UMTS/HSPA+ to LTE. EC20 contains four
variants: EC20-A, EC20-C, EC20-CE and EC20-E. This makes it backward-compable with exisng EDGE and GSM/GPRS
networks, ensuring that it can be connected even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.
EC20 supports mulple-input mulple-output (MIMO) technology, a cung edge antenna technology capable of transming
mulple data streams on mulple transmiers to mulple receivers. The antennas at each end of the communicaons circuit
are combined to minimize errors and opmize data speed. The module also combines high-speed wireless connecvity with
embedded mul-constellaon high-sensivity GPS+GLONASS receiver for posioning.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant funconalies (USB drivers for Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android/eCall*) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M
applicaons such as CPE, router, data card, rugged tablet, automobile, security and industry PDA.
