GNSS function is optional.

EG06 series module (EG06-E/EG06-A/EG06-LA/EG06-APAC/EG06-AUTL) contains

Telematics

version and

Data-only

version.

Telematics

version supports voice and data functions, while

Data-only

version only supports data function.

B32 and B29 support Rx only, and in 2×CA they are only for secondary component carrier.

With a compact profile of 37.0mm × 39.5mm × 2.8mm, EG06 can meet almost all requirements for M2M

applications such as automotive, metering, tracking system, security, router, wireless POS, mobile

computing device, PDA phone, tablet PC, etc.

EG06 is an SMD type module which can be embedded in applications through its 299-pin LGA pads.
