Quectel AG59xE Automotive Module

AG59xE is a series of automotive-grade 5G NR Sub-6GHz modules developed by Quectel which supports both 5G NR NSA and SA modes.

 

Adopting 3GPP Rel-16 technology, the module supports maximum 4.4Gbps downlink and 900Mbps uplink under 5G NSA mode, and maximum 1.2Gbps downlink and 200Mbps uplink under LTE-A. Supporting optional C-V2X PC5 direct communications, the AG59xE series is an excellent solution for automotive applications and makes traffic smoother and more efficient, paving the way for automated driving and achieving the goal of fully connected traffic. It supports DSDS (optional) and abundant interfaces for customers to develop applications. Its excellent performance in ESD and EMI protection ensures great robustness in harsh environments.

 

The AG59xE series consists of AG590E (5G + DSDS + C-V2X) and AG591E (5G + DSDS) variants, each of which contains multiple models (AG59xE-CN, AG59xE-EU, AG59xE-NA and AG59xE-ROW) to meet varied market demands. It is backward-compatible with existing GSM, UMTS and LTE networks, allowing it to be connected in areas without 5G NR deployment currently, and even remote areas devoid of 3G or 4G coverage.

 

The AG59xE series supports multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology. Using multiple antennas at the transmitting and receiving ends at the same time and on the same frequency band greatly reduces errors and optimizes data speed. While supporting multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS) based onQualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen 9 VT, the module additionally supports dual-frequency GNSS L1 + L5/L2 (L2 optional), PPE (RTK) and QDR 3.0 integrated navigation solutions. This greatly simplifies product design andprovides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.

 

With the AG59xE series, we are able to provide automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers with secure and reliable connectedcar solutions, and also provide vehicle manufacturers with smart and flexible solutions to build self-driving cars. More specifically, the module will be commonly found in telematics boxes (T-Box), telematics control units (TCU), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), C-V2X (V2V, V2I, V2P) systems, on-board units (OBU), roadside units (RSU), and other automotive/traffic systems.
