# Quectel awarded global certificates for LTE-A automotive module AG525R-GL

**SHANGHAI, March 15, 2022** –  Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, announces that  its automotive LTE-A communication module [AG525R-GL](https://www.quectel.com/product/lte-a-c-v2x-ag52xr-automotive-module) which tracks the global market has been  awarded certifications for operation on worldwide wireless networks. The  approvals include regulatory, conformance and carrier certificates from GCF,  FCC, CE, PTCRB, UKCA, IC, IFETEL, SRRC, NAL, CCC, KC, NCC, JATE, TELEC, RCM,  Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Telus, KT, NTT DOCOMO and  Telstra.

The certified automotive-grade AG525R-GL module is based on  the AEC-Q100 qualified Qualcomm SA415M chipset and is a member of Quectel’s  best-selling AG52xR family. The module complies with the international IATF  16949:2016 automotive quality management system, has achieved mass  production, and has been selected by a range of well-known auto brands for  critical automotive applications.

Targeting the global automotive  market, the AG525R-GL supports LTE-A Cat 12 and provides a peak downlink data  rate of 600Mbps. The product is backwards compatible with existing UMTS and  GSM networks, enabling vehicles to be connected even when driving in remote  areas without 4G coverage.

In addition, the module supports multiple-input  multiple-output (MIMO) technology. The use of multiple antennas at the  receiver end at the same time, and on the same frequency band, greatly  minimizes errors and optimizes the data speed.

In order to offer connected  vehicles with precise location positioning services, the AG525R-GL module is  designed with an integrated positioning solution to support L1+L5  dual-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS, PPE (RTK) as well as Qualcomm Dead  Reckoning (QDR) 3.0 technology. This greatly simplifies product design and  provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.

Additionally, the certified module provides a set of hardware  and software-based features including Secure Boot, TrustZone, SELinux,  multi-APN and more to enhance data communication security.

The AG525R-GL module  has passed rigorous environmental reliability testing and has adopted  specific circuits and components to achieve excellent performance in ESD and  EMI protection, ensuring great robustness even in harsh  environments.

“The worldwide approval of the AG525R-GL module represents a  milestone achievement for our growing business in the global automotive  sector,” said Min Wang, General Manager of the Automotive Business Unit,  Quectel. “With this approval, I believe that automakers and Tier 1 suppliers  will be able to leverage Quectel’s higher quality products to better enable  next-generation connected vehicles.”
