Quectel 5G RG620T modules

Quectel Wireless Solutions has announced that its 5G New Radio (NR) modules series, the RG620T, has received FCC/IC/CE and RCM certifications. The certifications will enable customers to deploy 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) devices around the globe.

The module delivers a range of features including high 5G data speeds, quad-core A55 CPU and a Wi-Fi 7 connection, as well as a series of innovations in antenna frequency band design, flash memory and QuecOpen, making it suitable for the FWA market which requires higher wireless performance and more design flexibility.

Available in commercial samples, the RG620T offers two variants, the RG620T-NA for the North American market, and the RG620T-EU for the EMEA, Asia–Pacific and Brazilian markets. Leveraging the performance of the MediaTek T830 platform, the certified 5G R16 module series will give new momentum to the 5G FWA market and other applications to deliver enhanced mobile broadband experiences.

Compliant with the 3GPP Release 16 standard, the module supports up to 300 MHz downlink bandwidth and NR 4CA (four-carrier aggregation) in FDD and TDD modes, allowing 5G devices with this module inside to achieve download speeds of up to 7.01 Gbps. The module also supports up to 200 MHz uplink bandwidth and NR 2CA, enabling uplink speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps.

The high bandwidth and low latency features make the module suitable for 5G use cases such as eXtended reality (XR) and cloud live broadcast. The MediaTek T830 platform embedded in Quectel’s RG620T module integrates a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU with a base frequency of 2.2 GHz. It also has a built-in M80 5G modem which adopts MediaTek’s 5G UltraSave technologies to provide energy efficiency for all 5G connection conditions.

With advanced features including the hardware-level MediaTek Network Processing Unit (NPU), Wi-Fi Offload Engine, MediaTek 5G UltraSave power-saving technology, Power Class 1.5 (PC1.5) and PC2 High Power User Equipment (HPUE), the module reduces power consumption, improves throughput, and provides more stable and higher-speed network services for a variety of 5G terminals including indoor and outdoor CPEs, home gateways, enterprise gateways, mobile hotspots, industrial routers, DTU, XR and 4K/8K ultra-high-definition live broadcast.
