UC20 Mini PCIe
UMTS/HSPA+ Module
Build a Smarter World
Quectel UC20 Mini PCIe is a powerful UMTS/HSPA+ module featuring a maximum data rate of 14.4Mbps downlink and
5.76Mbps uplink. The module is designed to provide customers with global network coverage on the connecvity of UMTS/
HSPA+, and it is also fully backward compable with exisng EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks.
The compact prole of 30.0mm × 50.95mm × 4.9mm in standard Mini PCIe form factor and the high integraon level enable
integrators and developers to easily design their applicaons and truly benet from the low power consumpon and
convenient Plug and Play funcon.
With an extended operaon temperature range from -40°C up to +80°C, UC20 Mini PCIe funcons reliably in extreme
environments, and thus it is ideal to be used in outdoor or indoor sites devoid of cooling and heang systems.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/PCM/LED_WWAN#/GNSS) and abundant funcons
(USB serial drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Windows CE, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide
range of commercial and industrial M2M applicaons.
