Quectel RM520N-GL is a 5G module optimized specially for IoT/eMBB applications. Adopting the 3GPP Release 16
technology, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM520N-GL is compatible with
Quectel 5G module RM50xQ series, LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 modules EM12/EM12xR/EM120K series and
Cat 16 module EM160R-GL, which facilitates customers’ migration from LTE-A to 5G.
RM520N-GL is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only.
The Global version RM520N-GL nearly covers all the mainstream carriers worldwide. The module supports
Qualcomm® IZatTM location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS 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 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of eMBB and IoT
applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged
tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.
