New Quectel RM502Q-AE 5G NR Module M.2 Module Standalone (SA) Non-Standalone (NSA) Modes MIMO USB 3.1 PCIe 3.0 GNSS Receiver

Quectel RM502Q-AE is a 5G module optimized specially for IoT/eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Release 15 LTE technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, Quectel RM502Q-AE is compatible with Quectel LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 module EM12 and EM120R-GL, and Cat 16 module EM160R-GL, which facilitates customers' migration from LTE-A to 5G.


The global version RM502Q-AE nearly covers all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The 5G module supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass and Galileo). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies the 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 and PCIe drivers for Windows, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.
