MPN #: RM500Q-GL
Many developers need a reliable way to add fast 5G connectivity to small devices, but they often face bulky antennas, high power draw, and limited band support. When a device cannot keep up with modern networks, users experience slow downloads, dropped calls, and missed updates. The Quectel RM500Q-GL 5G Sub-6GHz M.2 Module solves these issues by delivering high-speed 5G and LTE in a tiny M.2 form, low power consumption, and global band coverage, so your product stays fast and connected wherever it goes.
Imagine a tiny chip that brings carrier-grade 5G into a laptop, a drone, or an industrial sensor. The Quectel RM500Q-GL is exactly that - a Sub-6 GHz 5G module built for M.2 slots. It lets you upgrade any compatible board to 5G NSA/SA, LTE-Cat 16, and even GNSS positioning. If your project needs faster data, lower latency, or reliable global roaming, this module gives you the network edge without redesigning the whole hardware.

We are retiring PICOPC Products MNHO-073, MNHO-048 and MNHO-043 and they have reached EOL (End Of Life) as we are introducing new products with better technology. We would recommend you to look into MNHO-095. For Untangle, pfSense, OPNsense, Windows 11, Proxmox VE etc. we recommend MNHO-095 whereas for Sophos, Kerio Control and Endian, we would recommend MNHO-069. (A complete list of supported OS can be found in each product's listing)
