BELGRADE, May 30, 2023 – Quectel  Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, today announces that its  5G New Radio (NR) modules series, the RG620T has received FCC/ IC/ CE and RCM  certifications. The RG620T series is the first 5G module based on the MediaTek  T830 System-on-Chip (SoC) to receive all these certifications. The  certifications will enable customers to efficiently deploy their 5G fixed  wireless access (FWA) devices around the globe.

The RG620T  delivers an extensive range of cutting-edge features including ultra-high 5G  data speeds, quad-core A55 CPU, the latest Wi-Fi 7 connection as well as a  series of innovations in antenna frequency band design, flash memory and  QuecOpen, making it an ideal solution for the FWA market which demands higher  wireless performance and more design flexibility.

Available in commercial samples, the RG620T offers two  variants, the RG620T-NA for the North American market, and the RG620T-EU for  the EMEA, Asia-Pacific and Brazilian markets.

“As MediaTek’s long-term strategic  partner, we have extended our cooperation across multiple product lines  including 5G, LTE, LPWA, GNSS and more,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and  CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “Leveraging the powerful performance of the  MediaTek T830 platform, our globally certified 5G R16 module series RG620T  will give new momentum to the growing 5G FWA market and other applications to  deliver superior mobile broadband experiences.”

“5G is bringing new  breakthroughs to ever more always-connected products. Together we are  enabling smarter homes and business, industrial IoT and even the Internet of  Vehicles,” said Martin Lin, Deputy General Manager of the Wireless  Communications Business Unit at MediaTek. “Quectel is an important, long-term  partner, and its RG620T, based on MediaTek T830, is an ideal platform to  create leading next-generation, always-connected 5G FWA products for a wide  range of applications and markets.”

Up to 7.01Gbps download  speeds

Compliant with the 3GPP Release 16 standard, the  RG620T module supports up to 300 MHz downlink bandwidth and NR 4CA  (four-carrier aggregation) in FDD and TDD modes, allowing 5G devices with  this module inside to achieve download speeds of up to 7.01 Gbps.  Additionally, the RG620T supports up to 200 MHz uplink bandwidth and NR 2CA,  enabling uplink speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps.

The high bandwidth and low latency  features make the RG620T especially suitable for innovative 5G use cases such  as eXtended reality (XR) and cloud live broadcast. Its high bandwidth enables  real-time wireless transmission of high-definition XR content, while the  low-latency feature effectively reduces dizziness caused by image lag, and  therefore provides an immersive experience for users.

The MediaTek T830  platform embedded in Quectel’s RG620T module integrates a quad-core  Cortex-A55 CPU with a base frequency of 2.2 GHz. It also has a built-in M80  5G modem which adopts MediaTek’s 5G UltraSave technologies to ensure optimal  energy efficiency for all 5G connection conditions. These powerful features  make sure that 5G devices using the RG620T can take advantage of the CPU’s  residual performance, improve processing efficiency while reducing  costs.

Another significant benefit is that the SoC chipset solution  does not need a host controller, allowing customers to reduce the debugging  workload of USB or PCIe interfaces and ensuring that the module’s high  throughput rate is not restricted by the USB or PCIe  interface.

8RX  for enhanced wireless performance

With advanced features  including the hardware-level MediaTek Network Processing Unit (NPU), Wi-Fi  Offload Engine, MediaTek 5G UltraSave power-saving technology, Power Class  1.5 (PC1.5) as well as PC2 High Power User Equipment (HPUE), the RG620T  further reduces power consumption, improves throughput, and provides more  stable and higher speed network services for a variety of 5G terminals  including indoor and outdoor CPEs, home gateways, enterprise gateways, mobile  hotspots, industrial routers, DTU, XR and 4K/8K ultra-high-definition live  broadcast.

Additionally, the RG620T supports 8RX (Receive Antennas),  which greatly enhances downlink speed, spectral efficiency, coverage quality  and therefore delivers stable and super-fast 5G speeds even in complex indoor  and outdoor environments. The RG620T series also integrate multiple  interfaces including USXGMII, PCIe 4.0, PCIe 3.0 and USB3.2 in order to  facilitate customer designs.

Flexible  Wi-Fi 7 combinations

Besides cellular communication, the  RG620T offers multiple Wi-Fi combinations including tri-band/dual-band 4×4  Wi-Fi 7 solution for 5G CPE, dual-band 2×2 Wi-Fi 7 for 5G mobile hotspots.  The flexible offerings allow FWA terminals to leverage both 5G and Wi-Fi 7  capabilities and helps customers explore more pioneering application  scenarios such as 4K/8K video transmission, VR/AR, cloud gaming, remote work,  video conference as well as cloud computing. The module also features  EasyMesh™, making it easy to set up a mesh network with different IoT devices  for seamless wireless connections. Its support of WPA3 R3 encryption protocol  brings a higher level of safety to IoT devices.

To help customers to  facilitate their designs, Quectel offers a variety of high-performance 5G  antennas which boost wireless connectivity significantly. IoT developers can  bundle the RG620T  5G modules with Quectel’s antennas and pre-certification services, reducing  both cost and time-to-market for their 5G IoT devices.
