• Worldwide LTE, UMTS/HSPA+ and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage 
• FOTA update support 
• MIMO technology 
• Super cost-effective

A summary of basic information about the LTE Cat 4 module of the EC200A series has been prepared for you by Pavel Kováč from SOS electronic, a product specialist focusing on communication technologies.

Main Features

Quectel EC200A is pin compatible with EC21/EC25, which significantly speeds up the redesign while keeping the costs and time down. Better price level and stable delivery plan ensure high volume manufacturing and timely delivery. The module is backward compatible with UMTS/GSM networks, which is a basic requirement to have network coverage even in rural areas.

EC200A also supports standard Mini PCIe package to meet the needs of product applications in different industries. The module adopts the laser engraving process to ensure more good-looking appearance, strong metal texture, better heat dissipation, information not easy to be erased, and more suitable for automation requirements.

Enhanced features such FOTA (Firmware over the air) ensures low maintenance cost for service providers. With this function, the firmware can be upgraded to a new version over LTE/WCDMA/GSM/GPRS networks and also reverted to the old version. MIMO technology meets demands for data rate and link reliability in modem wireless communication systems.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces, and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial router, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance, and digital signage.

Design compatibility

EC200A module is compatible with Quectel LTE Standard EC2x/EG25-G and UMTS/HSPA+ UC20/UC200T modules. Compatible design accommodates EC200A, EC2x/EG25-G and UC20/UC200T modules on the same PCB footprint.
