High-performance
Sub-6GHz 5G module platform with support for FRMCS-related frequency
bands enables early evaluation through a dedicated development
environment.
(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quectel Wireless Solutions, a
global IoT solutions provider, today announced an LGA version of its
RG660Qx 5G module series, a high performance, Sub-6GHz 5G module
platform that includes support for the Future Railway Mobile
Communication System (FRMCS). Used with a dedicated evaluation
environment comprising an adaptor board and EVB Kit, the RG660Qx enables
equipment manufacturers and railway technology developers to conduct
early Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) evaluation and
testing, supporting development ahead of the transition from GSM-R.
The
Future Railway Mobile Communication System is the next-generation
railway communications standard developed to replace GSM-R across
European and international rail networks. Built on 5G technology, FRMCS
enables secure, high-speed connectivity for train control, signalling,
operational communications and mission-critical railway applications. As
the railway industry moves toward this next-generation standard,
Quectel is investing early to ensure customers have a reliable path to
migration.
To enable 5G FRMCS testing, evaluation and early
interoperability development, Quectel developed the RG660Qx variant in
LGA format, supporting bands n100 and n101, paired with an evaluation
kit that accelerates device-level testing and evaluation of FRMCS
functionalities. The module and evaluation kit will be available to any
customer requesting them once validation is complete. Furthermore,
Quectel plans to engage with key players across the railway industry to
initiate early-stage testing.
“FRMCS represents one of the most
significant communications transitions the rail industry will undergo in
the coming years, and we want our customers to be ready well ahead of
that shift," said Leo Yao, Product Head, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “By
bringing an LGA variant and evaluation kit to market now, we are
enabling customers to begin 5G FRMCS evaluation, interoperability
testing and Future Railway Mobile Communication System development
today, helping accelerate migration from GSM-R."
The RG660Qx
series is built on Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s X85 and X82 5G Modem-RF
systems, delivering Ethernet speeds of up to 10Gbps and Power Class 1.5
support for extended coverage, in addition to broad support for
high-capacity fixed wireless access and enterprise networking use cases.
