The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) of Egypt has approved Quectel’s EG915U module as compliant with its regulatory standards and requirements
This recognition means businesses and developers in Egypt can integrate the module into their IoT devices, ensuring compliance with local regulations and standards.
The EG915U is a series of LTE Cat 1 modules, tailored for M2M and IoT applications. With data rates of up to 10Mbit/s downlink and 5Mbit/s uplink, this series is engineered to meet the demands of high-performance connectivity.
“We are proud to receive the approval from NTRA, highlighting the excellence and compliance of our EG915U module,” said Norbert Muhrer, president and CSO of Quectel Wireless. “Quectel is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art IoT, and this approval is a testament to our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of the global IoT ecosystem.”
Designed in a compact and unified form factor, the EG915U (www.quectel.com/product/lte-eg915u-series) series seamlessly integrates with Quectel’s multi-mode modules such as the EG91, EG95, BG95 and BG96. This compatibility ensures a smooth transition between 2G and 4G networks, facilitating adaptability to diverse industry applications.
The module uses a suite of internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and versatile functionalities, including USB drivers compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, Linux, and Android. This enables the module to cater to a diverse array of M2M and IoT applications. These span various sectors, encompassing point of sale (PoS), proof of concept (PoC), electronic toll collection (ETC), shared equipment, data cards, energy control and monitoring, security and protection, and PDAs.
Working closely with Finite State, Quectel has enhanced the security of its modules through security testing, improved software supply chain visibility, and software risk management, ensuring security testing in all phases of the development cycle. In addition to penetration testing of its key modules, Quectel has released a software bill of materials (SBoM) and Vex vulnerability exploitability exchange documents for its IoT modules. These resources will be made available through the Quectel web site.
Furthermore, to help users facilitate their designs, Quectel offers various antennas that boost wireless connectivity significantly. IoT developers can bundle Quectel modules along with its antennas and pre-certification services, reducing cost and time-to-market for 5G IoT devices.
