EC25AFA-MINIPCIE

Product Overview

EC25AFA-MINIPCIE is a cellular RF transceiver module from Quectel, designed for embedded wireless products that need reliable RF communication in a production-ready form factor. It is normally reviewed for asset tracking, gateways, smart meters, industrial routers, telematics and connected field equipment, where radio performance, host integration and long-term availability all matter.

From a design perspective, this part should be evaluated around cellular IoT, LTE, LPWA or cellular/GNSS connectivity; confirm the supported band list and carrier approvals for the orderable code. Engineers should also review antenna layout, host interface timing, supply filtering, firmware or network-stack support, regulatory requirements and lifecycle status before approving the orderable code.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Quectel
• Part Number: EC25AFA-MINIPCIE
