The EM121R-GL is an LTE-A Cat 12 module designed by the 3GPP
Release 14 specification which supports a theoretical downlink peak
data rate of 600Mbps and uplink peak data rate of 150Mbps. With an
M.2 form factor of 42.0mm × 30.0mm × 2.3mm, the module is
compatible with Quectel's LTE-A Cat 6 module EM06, Cat 12 modules
EM12-G/EM120R-GL and 5G modules RM500Q/RM502Q Series, which
facilitates migration between different categories.
The EM121R-GL is designed for the global market and covers nearly
all mainstream carriers worldwide. The module supports Qualcomm®
IZat™ location technology Gen9-VT (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass,
and Galileo) and supports active GNSS L1+L5 antennas. The
integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product design and provides
quicker, more accurate, and more dependable positioning capability.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces, and
abundant functionalities (PCIe interface/USB drivers for
Windows, Linux, Android/optional built-in eSIM) allow the module to
serve a wide range of applications such as industrial routers, home
gateways, STBs, industrial laptops, consumer laptops, industrial
PDAs, rugged tablet PCs, and digital signage.
