Overview

Quectel EC200A series Mini PCIe is an LTE Cat 4 module adopting standard PCI Express Mini Card form factor (Mini PCIe). With 3GPP Rel-9 LTE technology, it is optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications, and delivers maximum data rates of up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink.

Designed in the compact and unified form factor, EC200A series Mini PCIe is compatible with Quectel LTE Cat 4 EC25 series Mini PCIe, EC20-CE Mini PCIe and EG25-G Mini PCIe modules in form factor, which allows for flexible migration among them in design and manufacturing. EC200A series Mini PCIe is backward compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks, ensuring that it can be connected even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.

EC200A series Mini PCIe contains three variants: EC200A-CN Mini PCIe, EC200A-EU Mini PCIe and EC200A-AU Mini PCIe. Using a laser engraving process, EC200A series Mini PCIe features a more fashionable appearance, strong metallic texture, better thermal dissipation capability and durable label information, which makes it ideally suited for large-scale production. EC200A series Mini PCIe supports multiple input and output (MIMO) technology, and multiple receiving antennas can be used to receive signals at the receiving end, thereby reducing bit error rate and improving communication quality.

A rich set of internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows 10/11, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as industrial router, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video transmission and digital signage.
