Details

Supply voltage: 2.1V ~ 3.63V

Typical supply voltage: 3.3V
 Maximum power consumption: 5μA

Typical power consumption: 3.5μA
LTE Cat NB1:

B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B26*/B28/B66

23dBm± 2dB

Support 1.8V USIM card
Main UART Port:

Used for AT command communication and data transmission.

By default, the module is in auto-baud mode, and it supports automatic
baud rates not exceeding 115200bps. When powering on the module, the
MCU has to send AT command consecutively to synchronize baud rate
with the module. When OK is returned, it indicates the baud rate has been
synchronized successfully. When the module is woken up from PSM or
idle mode, the baud rate synchronized during start-up will be used directly.

Also can be used for firmware upgrade, and in such case, the baud rate is
921600bps by default.
Debug UART Port:

Used for firmware debugging

Default baud rate: 115200bps
Auxiliary UART Port:

Used for firmware debugging

Default baud rate: 115200bps

UDP/TCP/LwM2M/MQTT/CoAP*/PPP*/TLS*/DTLS*/HTTP*/HTTPS*

Text/PDU Mode

Single-tone: 25.5kbps (DL)/16.7kbps (UL)

Multi-tone: 25.5kbps (DL )/62.5kbps (UL)

3GPP TS 27.005/3GPP TS 27.007 AT commands (3GPP Rel. 13/Rel.14*)
and Quectel Enhanced AT commands

