EM9191 5G NR Sub-6 GHz Module

Optimized 5G NR performance for broad coverage applications with a simple upgrade path to mmWave

The EM9191 module is part of the EM Series offering global 5G connectivity. Designed in an M.2 form factor, the EM9191 is compatible with Sierra Wireless’s EM9190 module for a simple upgrade path to mmWave, as well as the EM7690 module to help facilitate the migration and differentiation between 4G LTE and 5G.

This 5G NR Sub-6 GHz embedded module delivers up to 4.5Gbps downlink speed and 660Mbps uplink speed. With automatic 4G and 3G fallback networks and integrated GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo satellite systems supported), the EM9191 is applicable to a wide range of IoT applications such as industrial routers, home gateways, industrial and consumer laptops, rugged tablet PCs, video surveillance and digital signage.
