The EC20 is the newest generation of Quectel’s LTE modules. Adopting 3GPP Rel. 9 LTE technology, it delivers 100 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink data rates and is fallback compatible with the UMTS/HSPA+UC20 module in the same compact form factor, providing a scalable platform for migration.
Three variants – EC20-A, EC20-C and EC20-E – make this device backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/ GPRS networks to ensure that it can connect even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is supported, and embeds a high-sensitivity GPS+GLONASS receiver.
