Product Concept

2.1. General Description

RM510Q-GL is a 5G NR/LTE-FDD/LTE-TDD/WCDMA wireless communication module with receive

diversity. It provides data connectivity on 5G NR SA and NSA, LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, DC-HSDPA, HSPA+,

HSDPA, HSUPA and WCDMA networks. It is a standard M.2 Key-B WWAN module. For more details,

see

PCI Express M.2 Specification Revision 3.0, Version 1.2.

RM510Q-GL is an industrial-grade module for industrial and commercial applications only.

It supports embedded operating systems such as Windows, Linux and Android, and also provide GNSS

and voice functionality to meet specific application demands.

The following table shows the frequency bands and GNSS type of the module.
