Overview

The EC21 is a series of LTE Cat 1 IoT modules in an LCC form factor measuring 32.0mm x 29.0mm x 2.4mm, which meets the 3GPP Release 12 standard.  The EC21 is compatible with Quectel’s UMTS/HSPA+ UC200T modules and multi-mode LTE Standard EC25, EC20 R2.1, EG25-G and EG21-G modules. It is therefore backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks, enabling easy migration between LTE and 2G or 3G. The series consists of ten variants to meet various geographical demands, which can be compared via the table above.

The EC21 provides cost-effective, low-power LTE connectivity, delivering maximum downlink rates of 10Mbps and uplink rates of 5Mbps under LTE, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology meets demands for data rate and link reliability. This makes the series ideal for IoT applications which are not reliant on high-speed connectivity but do require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks.

The EC21 supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS), and the integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product design, and provides quicker, more accurate and dependable positioning.  A wide range of internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and functionalities (such as USB serial drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android and eCall) allow the module to serve a wide range of IoT applications including smart metering, wearable devices, environmental monitoring, asset tracking, fleet management, and security systems.
