Module series helps expand the reach of 5G

29 March 2023 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Quectel Wireless Solutions has announced the launch of its 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability, also known as NR-Light) modules, the Rx255C series. Based on a Snapdragon X35 5G Modem-RF System from Qualcomm, the new modules feature superior wireless performance and low latency communication with 5G, while providing significant optimisation in size, energy savings, and cost-effectiveness.

This Snapdragon X35 and Rx255C series is the ideal option to help drive the reach of 5G technology into a variety of mobile broadband scenarios. Meeting the 3GPP Release 17 standards, the Rx255C series supports 5G standalone (SA) mode and a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz on the sub-6 GHz frequency band. Targeting all markets worldwide, the 5G RedCap modules are backward compatible with LTE networks.

They provide a theoretical peak downlink data rate of around 220 Mbps and uplink data rate of around 100 Mbps, sufficient to meet the demand for data speeds in IoT applications such as robotics, DTU, drones, smart ports, smart grid, AR/VR wearables, educational laptops as well as other entry level mobile broadband devices.
