CAT1 Module Introduction
1. Introduction
This document applies only to the EC801E-CN industrial-grade module.
This document introduces the features of the EC801E-CN module and the hardware and air interfaces for connecting it to your application. It also provides the module's hardware interface features, RF features, electrical features, mechanical specifications and other related information, so that you can quickly understand this module.
2. Product Overview
The module is a surface-mount module with a compact package.
| Frequency Bands and Functions EC801E-CN |
|---|
| LTE-FDD B1/B3/B5/B8 |
| LTE-TDD B34/B38/B39/B40/B41 |
| Wi-Fi Scan (optional) 802.11b/g/n with 2.4G DSSS beacon |
LTE-TDD B41 only supports 140 MHz bandwidth (2535~2675 MHz). The Wi-Fi Scan of the module shares the antenna interface with the main antenna; the two functions cannot be used at the same time and can only be time-division multiplexed. Wi-Fi Scan only supports receiving, not sending.
