Quectel EM12-G CAT12 M.2 Modem

M.2 Modem with 3 x Carrier Aggregation

Quectel EM12-G is LTE Advanced category 12 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel. 12 LTE technology, it delivers M2M-optimized speeds of 600Mbps downlink and 150Mbps uplink peak data rates.  Designed in the M.2 form factor, EM12 is compatible with Quectel Cat6 module EM06 and future higher category modules which will facilitate customers to migrate between the different categories.

EM12-G is designed for global and nearly covers all the main stream carriers worldwide.

EM12-G supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen9HT Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo). 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 (USB drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Android/eCall) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as industrial router, home gateway, STB, industrial laptop, consumer laptop, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage, etc.

NOTE:  NOT RECOMMENDED for use with the M2M NEXG H721 due to this router’s high rate of burn out failures.  We will warranty NO modems that are used in the M2M NEXG H721 router.  It is strongly recommended to invest in a quality power strip surge protector (i.e., APC, Belkin,…) to use behind a router and/or electronic equipment.  This will help protect against Transients (momentary spikes/surges in voltage or current) that can be detrimental to expensive equipment.  Transient damage to modems are not covered under warranty.  Protect your equipment.

IMPORTANT:  Exercise extreme caution while installing MHF4 connectors to the modem antenna ports.  The ports are delicate and easily damaged.  Assure that the MHF4 connector is perfectly centered, level and aligned with the modem port.  The MFH4 connector will then snap into place using minimum pressure.  Do not apply excessive force.  A damaged modem connector port is not covered under warranty.
