Imagine a car that can stay connected even in the toughest weather, delivering instant data for navigation, safety alerts, and entertainment. The Quectel AG55xQ-EU, 5G Automotive Module is a compact, rugged communication chip designed for modern vehicles. Drivers and manufacturers often struggle with unreliable networks, slow updates, and limited coverage. This module solves those problems by bringing fast, reliable 5G and multi-band support directly to the vehicle.
Quectel AG55xQ-EU, 5G Automotive Module
Cars need a steady link to the cloud for real-time maps, over-the-air updates, and emergency calls. When the link drops, the driver loses critical information and the vehicle may not meet safety regulations. This module removes that risk. It combines 5G SA/NSA, LTE, and legacy bands in one small board, giving you seamless coverage across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The result is a stable, high-speed connection that works in extreme temperatures and harsh automotive environments.
Key Features
- 5G NR bands n1, n3, n8, n20, n28, n41, n78.
- LTE FDD/TDD and legacy GSM/3G bands for global roaming.
- Peak downlink up to 2.4 Gbps (5G NSA) and uplink 550 Mbps.
- Multiple antenna ports: main, diversity, MIMO3, MIMO4, C-V2X.
- USB 2.0/3.1, PCIe 3.0, UART, I2C, SPI, and RGMII interfaces.
- Integrated voice codec with VoLTE, echo cancellation, and noise suppression.
- eCall, DFOTA, and QuecOpen Linux support for easy software updates.
- Security features: TrustZone, Secure Boot, SELinux, optional TPM.
- Power consumption as low as 0.04 mA in off mode and 1.4 mA in sleep.
- CE and RCM certifications for European and Australian markets.
