# LTE EM05 series ## Key features - LTE Cat 4 module optimized for broadband IoT/M2M applications - Worldwide LTE and UMTS/HSPA+ coverage - Standard M.2 (NGFF) form factor ideal for manufacturers to easily integrate wireless connectivity into devices - Supports DFOTA - MIMO technology meets demands for data rate and link reliability in wireless communication systems ## Overview Quectel EM05 series is an LTE category 4 module adopting standard M.2 (NGFF) form factor. The space-saving M.2 form factor allows EM05 series to be easily integrated into smaller and thinner devices. With maximum data rates up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink, it is optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. EM05 series contains three variants: EM05-CN, EM05-E and EM05-G, which can provide data connectivity on LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, DC-HSDPA, HSPA+, HSDPA, HSUPA, WCDMA and CDMA networks. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Linux and Android, DFOTA, etc.) 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.
