Quectel EP06

IoT/M2M-optimized LTE-A

Cat.6 Mini PCIe Module

Build a Smarter World

Quectel EP06 is a series of LTE Advanced category 6 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 12 LTE technology, it delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 300Mbit/s downlink and 50Mbit/s uplink peak data rates. Designed in the Mini PCIe form factor, EP06 is compatible with Quectel future Cat.9 module EP09, Cat.12 module EP12 and Cat.16 module EP16 , which will facilitate customers to migrate between different categories in the future. EP06 contains 4 variants (EP06-E, EP06-A, EP06-LA and EP06-APAC) which are designed for different target regions and nearly cover all the main stream carriers worldwide.

EP06 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 capability. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Android/eCall*) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage, etc.
