Datasheet of RM530N Series

Quectel RM530N Series IoT/eMBB-Optimized 5G Sub-6 GHz & mmWave M.2 Module

Quectel RM530N-GL is a 5G module that is specially optimized for IoT/eMBB applications. Based on 3GPP Release 16, it supports both 5G NSA and SA modes. Designed in an M.2 form factor, RM530N-GL is compatible with Quectel 5G modules from the Sub-6-only RM520N series, which facilitates customers’ compatible designs for Sub-6 + mmWave devices and Sub-6-only devices.

The RM530N-GL is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only. The RM530N-GL covers nearly all of the main operators worldwide. The module supports Qualcomm IZatT™ location technology Gen9C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS). The integrated GNSS receiver greatly simplifies the product design, and also provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionality (USB and PCIe drivers for operating systems Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of IoT and eMBB applications such as industrial routers, home gateways, CPE, industrial and consumer laptops, industrial PDAs, rugged tablet PCs, video transmission, and digital signage.
