EC21 Mini PCIe
IoT/M2M-optimized LTE
Cat.1 Module
Build a Smarter World
Quectel EC21 Mini PCIe is a series of LTE category 1 module adopng standard PCI Express
®
MiniCard form factor (Mini PCIe).
Especially opmized for M2M and IoT applicaons, it features cost-saving, low power LTE connecvity, and delivers
M2M-opmized speeds of 10Mbit/s downlink and 5Mbit/s uplink. These make it ideal for numerous IoT applicaons that are
not reliant on high speed connecvity but sll require the longevity and reliability of LTE networks.
EC21 Mini PCIe contains 7 variants: EC21-V Mini PCIe, EC21-A Mini PCIe, EC21-AU Mini PCIe, EC21-J Mini PCIe, EC21-KL Mini
PCIe, EC21-AUT Mini PCIe and EC21-E Mini PCIe. This makes it backward-compable with exisng EDGE and GSM/GPRS
networks, ensuring that it can easily migrate from LTE to 2G or 3G networks.
EC21 Mini PCIe supports Qualcomm® IZat™ locaon technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS). The
integrated GNSS greatly simplies product design, and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable posioning.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant funconalies (USB drivers for Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android/eCall) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M
applicaons such as smart metering, tracking and tracing, eet management, wearable devices, smart home gateways, digital
signs, and even drones.
