Quectel EC21-E Eval module

The Quectel EC21 is an 4G LTE Cat.1 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. It delivers power-enhanced performance and M2M-optimized speeds of 10Mbit/s downlink and 5Mbit/s uplink, and features low-power, low-cost LTE connectivity. These make it ideally suitable for numerous IoT applications that are not rely on high speed connectivity but still require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks.
