EC20 Mini PCIe
Multi-mode LTE Module
Build a Smarter World
EC20 Mini PCIe adopts the standard PCI Express
®
MiniCard form factor (MiniPCIe) and provides global network coverage on
the connecvity of LTE. It delivers 50Mbps-up and100Mbps-down data rates on LTE FDD networks and can also be fully
backward compable with exisng UMTS and GSM/GPRS networks. It contains three variants: EC20-E Mini PCIe, EC20-A Mini
PCIe and EC20-C Mini PCIe, which makes it backward-compable with exisng EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks to ensure that
it can connect even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.
EC20 Mini PCIe supports Rx diversity which allows the end-device to be equipped with two disnct cellular antennas
improving the quality and reliability of the wireless connecvity. Leveraging the Mulple-input mulple-output (MIMO)
technology, its antennas at each end of the communicaons circuit are combined to minimize errors and opmize data
speed. It also combines high-speed wireless connecvity with embedded mul-constellaon high-sensivity posioning
GPS+GLONASS receiver.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant funconalies (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
applicaons such as CPE, router, data card, rugged tablet, automove, security and industry PDA.
