4G LTE / 2G / GSM / GNSS / GPS - Industrial Grade Modem
Overview
This is a Dual-SIM 4G LTE / 2G / GSM / GNSS / GPS - Industrial Grade Modem Board , which is professionally designed with 4 layer Gold plated PCB having industrial grade protections. It is built with Multi-Band 4G LTE module, Quectel EC200U-CNAA-N05-SGNSA LTE Cat 1 module optimized specially for M2M and IoT applications. It delivers maximum data rates up to 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink. As its name implies, The onboard nano SIM sockets will support Dual SIM (DSSS) Functionalities , which are placed one at top side and other at bottom side of the PCB, but both are aligned vertically so as to match the proposed slot on enclosure for easy access. .
By default the board is populated with Push-Push Nano SIM socket, which can be replaced with normal Push-Pull type SIM Socket as well on special request. Dual SIM Card feature will help us to switch to the other network provider (SIM2), incase of unavailability of first network provider by AT Commands, without opening the enclosure or turning off the Power.
EC200U series Modem has a rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M and IoT applications such as POS/POC/ETC, shared equipment, data card, energy control and monitoring, security and protection, and industrial PDA.
By default the SIM-1 is enabled and Modem can be used as normal Modem, without any special command or hardware connection. Only, in case of user want to enable the Second SIM , he has to Select the desired SIM Cards with the help of AT Commands.
This MODEM, built with support for 4G LTE/2G GSM networks, will automatically rollback to 2G mode in the absence of 4G Network, which will enable you to use it across the entire country including remote villages where 4G towers are less populated . Since this modem supports GNSS, customer can make use of Geo-Location identification using either GPS,GLONASS or BD Satellite networks. MODEM supports UART communication ( Compatible with 3V3 & 5V microcontrollers) as well as USB interface with USB Powering option. Industrial grade Protections are provided for Noise,Spikes, Anti Static voltages & Surges coming through Power supply, USB, Antenna UFL Connections and through SIM Sockets.
The Modem is populated with high quality Gold plated branded U.FL Connectors for 4G Main antenna, Auxilery (Diversity) Antenna & GPS Antenna. Option has been provided to select either Patch antenna or External Active antenna for GPS. Highly stable power supply has been provided for external GPS Active antenna having built-in LNA. All this antenna networks are carefully designed with RF PCB design layouts and proper impedance matching networks for ensuring maximum signal gain and RF power delivery.
This modem is built with Low dropout Linear Voltage Regulator having current capacity of 3Ampere to deliver enough current on demand, which will help modem to works properly on low signal range environments. Due to populated LDO regulator, Modem can be powered by DC voltage ranges from 5V DC to 12V DC. It is built with option to select interfacing voltage level (logic level voltage) based on user host controller, which allows you to connect 3V3 or 5V Microcontroller without any extra level conversion IC. In order to attain High Speed data communication between Modem and External Microcontroller, the board is built with TXB0108 voltage level translator IC, instead of low cost Resistive devider or reverse biased diodes/Mosfet.
Apart from the Power & UART Communications, most of the important Status, Control and LED pins are made available at on board 2mm pitch RMC Connectors for advanced users. The RMC connectors are separated based on its function and usability. For simple application ,user can make use of just two RMC connectors like Power, UART and leave all other RMC connector pins as open. Advanced users can make use of other RMC connectors for getting more functions.
C-Type USB Connector is provided for USB interface as well as for powering the MODEM, which are protected by onboard TVS IC. Even though the MODEM allows powering via USB from LAPTOP, we do not recommend it as the current available from LAPTOP USB ports are limited and may not be sufficient to support the modem on extreme demand conditions like out of range areas. Connectors like SIM socket,USB ports and Antenna Connectors are protected from Anti Static High Voltages using ESD protection ICs. 3 Nos onboard LEDs are provided to know the modem status like Power, Status and Net. Most of the required I/O pins are made available at Berg strip Headers (connector not populated). Most of the serial port status and control pins are also made available on separate RMC Connectors.
In order to reduce power consumption, Modem power ON/OFF options are provided on RMC connector. User can completely Turn ON/OFF the modem power supply using this pin from an external microcontroller GPIO Pins. Apart from this, PKEY pins are also made out of connector to Start and Stop the modem externally. In order to reduce the GPIO pins required to control the modem, by default the modem is configured to start automatically once it is powered and if needed this can be controlled manually through PKEY pins available on RMC connector.
The EC200U has strong extension capability with rich interfaces including UART, USB2.0 GPIO etc. With abundant application capability like TCP/IP/IPV4/IPV6/Multi-PDP/FTP/FTPS/HTTP/HTTPS/DNS, the module provides much flexibility and ease of integration for customer's application.The Modem is having internal TCP/IP stack to enable you to connect with internet via 4G LTE/2G/GPRS. It is suitable for Tracking, SMS, Voice as well as DATA transfer application in M2M interface and vehicle tracking applications.
Note: This 4G UART modem is coming with VoLTE support , which will enable you to use JIO sim card on it
This MODEM support Dual SIM functionalities as DSSS (Dual SIM Single Standby), which means at a time only One SIM Card is registered to the Network and other SIM card will be disconnected .
