Quectel EC21 Mini PCIe is a series of LTE category 1 module adopting standard PCI Express

Specially optimized for M2M and IoT applications, it features cost-effective, low-power LTE connectivity, and delivers

M2M-optimized speeds of 10Mbps downlink and 5Mbps uplink. These make it ideal for numerous IoT applications that are

not reliant on high speed connectivity but still require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks.

EC21 Mini PCIe contains 10 variants: EC21-E Mini PCIe, EC21-EU Mini PCIe, EC21-EUX Mini PCIe, EC21-A Mini PCIe, EC21-V

Mini PCIe, EC21-AUT Mini PCIe, EC21-AU Mini PCIe, EC21-AUX Mini PCIe, EC21-KL Mini PCIe and EC21-J Mini PCIe. This makes

it backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/GPRS networks, ensuring that it can easily migrate from LTE to 2G or 3G

network.

EC21 Mini PCIe supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass, Galileo and

QZSS). The integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product design, and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable

positioning.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB serial drivers for Windows

7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android/eCall*) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as smart

metering, tracking and tracing, fleet management, wearable devices, smart home gateways, digital signs, and even drones.
