WMC52xR is a series of automotive grade LTE category 6/12 modules developed by Wireless Mobility. Designed and manufactured according to IATF 16949:2016 automotive quality management system, it is targeted at the IoV (Internet of Vehicles) applications. Adopting the 3GPP Rel-14 technology, it provides maximum 600 Mbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink data rates. Supporting optional C-V2X PC5 direct communications, WMC52xR series makes traffic smoother and more efficient through paving the way for automated driving and achieving the goal of fully connected traffic. It provides abundant interfaces for customers to develop applications, and its excellent performance in ESD and EMI protection ensures great robustness even in harsh environments.
WMC52xR series consists of WMC520R (LTE-A + C-V2X), WMC521R (LTE-A only) and WMC525R-GL (LTE-A only) variants, which contains multiple models to meet market demands. It is backward compatible with existing UMTS and GSM networks, enabling it to be connected even in remote areas devoid of 4G coverage.
WMC52xR series supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. The use of multiple antennas at the receiver end at the same time and on the same frequency band greatly minimizes errors and optimizes the data speed. While supporting dual-frequency and multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS) based on Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C-Lite, the module additionally supports PPE (RTK) and GNSS/QDR integrated navigation solutions. This greatly simplifies product design and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning capability.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functions (USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Linux, eCall, etc.) extend the applicability of WMC52xR series to a wide range of M2M applications in automotive, industrial and consumer markets. It is especially suitable for auto-related applications, such as fleet management, vehicle tracking, in-vehicle navigation system, vehicle remote monitoring, vehicle remote control, security monitoring and alarming, remote vehicle diagnostics, vehicle wireless routing, in-car entertainment, and more.
