The AG55xQ Series from Quectel are 5G NR Sub-6 GHz + C-V2X Modules that are designed for automotive applications. They adopt 3GPP Rel-15 technology and support both 5G NR NSA and SA modes. These modules are based on the AEC-Q100 qualified Qualcomm SA515M chipset and deliver a downlink data rate of up to 2.4 Gbps (5G NSA), 1.6 Gbps (LTE-A), and an uplink data rate of up to 550 Mbps (5G NSA), 200 Mbps (LTE-A). These modules are backward compatible with existing GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks, enabling them to be connected in areas without 5G NR deployment currently and even remote areas devoid of 3G or 4G coverage. They support MIMO technology and use multiple antennas at the transmitting & receiving ends at the same time and on the same frequency band to greatly reduce errors and optimize data speed. The modules require a DC supply of 3.3-5.25 V and consume less than 25 mA of current.
The AG55xQ Series modules support multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS) based on Qualcomm IZat location technology Gen8C-Lite. They also support dual-frequency GNSS, PPE (RTK) and GNSS/QDR integrated navigation solutions to simplify product design and provide quicker, more accurate, and more dependable positioning capability. These modules have optional support for C-V2X PC5 direct communications and DSDA.
They can be controlled via USB 2.0/3.1, UART, (U)SIM, PCIe 3.0, I2C, I2S, PCM, SDIO, ADC, SPI, and GPIO interfaces. These modules are available in modules that measure 54.5 x 53.0 x 3.5 mm and are ideal for telematics boxes (T-Box), telematics control units (TCU), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), C-V2X (V2V, V2I, V2P) systems, on-board units (OBU), roadside units (RSU), and other automotive/traffic systems applications.
