Quectel Expands RG660Qx 5G Module Capabilities for Future Railway Mobile Communication System Evaluation and Railway Applications

Quectel Wireless Solutions, a leading provider of IoT solutions, has recently expanded the capabilities of its RG660Qx 5G module series to support the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). This high-performance, Sub-6GHz 5G module platform is equipped with an LGA version and an evaluation kit, enabling equipment manufacturers and railway technology developers to conduct early testing and evaluation of FRMCS.

The FRMCS is a next-generation railway communications standard designed to replace GSM-R across European and international rail networks, offering secure, high-speed connectivity for train control, signaling, operational communications, and mission-critical railway applications. By integrating the RG660Qx variant in LGA format, paired with the evaluation kit, Quectel aims to facilitate device-level testing and evaluation of FRMCS functionalities, ensuring customers have a reliable path to migration.

Leo Yao, Product Head of Quectel Wireless Solutions, expressed the company's commitment to preparing customers for the upcoming communications transition, stating that the LGA variant and evaluation kit are now available for customers upon completion of validation. The RG660Qx series is built on Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.'s X85 and X82 5G Modem-RF systems, offering Ethernet speeds of up to 10Gbps, Power Class 1.5 support for extended coverage, and broad support for high-capacity fixed wireless access and enterprise networking use cases.
