Quectel EC21-V Mini PCIe Multi-mode LTE Module, Cat.1 (Verizon)
The EC21-V Mini PCIe is in the standard PCI Express® MiniCard form factor (miniPCIe), and is an LTE category 1 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications.
Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 11 LTE technology, the EC21 features cost-saving, low power LTE connectivity, and delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 10Mbit/s downlink and 5Mbit/s uplink. These make it ideal for numerous IoT applications that are not reliant on high speed connectivity but still require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks. It is backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/ GPRS networks, ensuring that it can easily migrate from LTE to 2G or 3G networks.
The EC21 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.
