ThinkPad Quectel SDX24 EM120R-GL 4G LTE CAT12 PCIE WWAN module is a wireless communication module with receive diversity. It helps provide data connectivity and network with standard PCI Express M.2 interface. With downlink speed of up to 600 Mbps and uplink speed of up to 150 Mbps, the 4G CAT12 WWAN module enhances the network reliability and availability of your ThinkPad, and provides a great cellular solution for travelers to sustain mobility while using PC devices.

As the demand for mobile broadband accelerates, mobile network operators need to use both 3G and LTE technologies efficiently, without creating new network complexity. The Cisco USC 8738 addresses this need by integrating multiaccess technology into a single small cell to support concurrent 3G and LTE operation with SON capability.

The Cisco USC 8000 Series offers mobile operators transparent and fully coordinated mobile coverage for environments where the macro network cannot do so cost-effectively by using a single, high-density, multitechnology controller for management and autoconfiguration of the in-building system. These locations range from venues for indoor events with high data requirements to large enterprises in high-density urban areas.

The Cisco^® Fourth-Generation Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced Network Interface Modules (NIMs) for Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and ENCS 5400 Series provide the next generation of wireless WAN primary, backhaul, IWAN, and backup solutions.

Product Overview

LTE Advanced can provide either primary connectivity or backup communications, offering network resiliency for business continuity. With greater agility and speed to deployment than wired solutions, LTE Advanced can reduce network cost and complement wire-line public and private network access. Practical applications of LTE Advanced for organizations include parallel networks, primary connection, failover, in-vehicle connectivity, network convergence, and last-mile diversity. The LTE Advanced NIMs with the Cisco 4000 Series ISRs and ENCS 5400 Series lead the industry in bringing enterprise-grade functions such as quality of service (QoS), Multi-Virtual Route Forwarding (Multi-VRF), advanced VPN, and unified communications solutions over LTE.

The Cisco LTE Advanced NIMs (Figure 1) provide an enterprise-class, multimode LTE Advanced wireless WAN (WWAN) solution. With Cisco ISRs, LTE Advanced is a powerful primary WAN access solution. Businesses can now run applications such as interactive video and telepresence on a primary LTE Advanced connection that is up to 150 times faster than 3G links, with far lower latency. These LTE Advanced modules support the latest Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 10 Category 6 LTE Advanced standards. Cisco multimode LTE Advanced WWAN NIMs provide persistent, reliable LTE Advanced connectivity, with fallback and transparent handoff to earlier technologies. The cards provide bandwidth to support high-definition (HD) and peer-to-peer (P2P) video calls, providing customers with an excellent mobile broadband experience. The Cisco LTE Advanced WWAN NIMs are tightly integrated with the services provided on the award-winning Cisco 4000 Series ISRs and ECS 5400 Series, which deliver highly secure data, voice, video, NFVs, and mobility services. The Cisco LTE Advanced WWAN NIMs are supported on the modular Cisco 4200, 4300, and 4400 Series ISRs and ENCS 5400 Series with Network Function Virtualization and services.

Enterprises are looking for ways to reduce deployment time, enable comprehensive media services, increase revenue, and improve business continuity. The Cisco LTE Advanced WWAN NIMs, when coupled with a service provider's wireless data plan, provide a rapidly deployable, high-bandwidth, reliable, and secure solution for branch offices and remote sites. With LTE Advanced fast data rates, these NIMs offer a primary WAN link solution capable of running comprehensive branch-office services, including voice and video services.

Carrier aggregation makes it possible for carriers to transmit data to a device like a wireless router over multiple network bands at once, through a single "aggregated data pipe." LTE Advanced with carrier aggregation utilizes multiple frequency bands at once, devices switch frequency bands in just a few milliseconds. Additionally, even if one band drops, the device stays connected via the second band in the aggregated data pipe.

The Cisco ® Connected Grid portfolio of solutions is designed specifically for the harsh, rugged environments often found in the energy and utility industries. These solutions include the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router (CGR 2010), which is designed to support the communications infrastructure needs of the energy delivery infrastructure across the generation, transmission, and distribution sectors. Designed for highly secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure, the CGR 2010 is an ideal platform to support Smart Grid and other energy delivery infrastructure needs of customers. The CGR 2010 has been extensively tested to meet the challenging substation compliance standards, including IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3. The CGR 2010 offers four module slots to utilize Grid Router WAN Interface Cards (GRWIC). These modules allow for WAN connectivity to both legacy networks such as ISDN, DSL, Serial, etc., as well as new WAN technologies such as 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE).

Product Overview

The Cisco Connected Grid 2G/3G/4G Multimode LTE GRWIC modules are designed for use with the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router (CGR 2010). These GRWICs provide second-generation (2G), third-generation (3G), and now fourth-generation (4G) cellular technologies and are backwards-compatible with the older technology. Suitable as both a primary and secondary WAN connection, these GRWICs support the latest 4G standards (3GPP Release 8 LTE) as well as 3GPP and 3GPP2-based 3G and 2G access technologies, and transparent handoff from 2G/3G to 4G LTE.

These GRWICs support the 3GPP2 technologies of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) such as CDMA 1xRTT, Evolution-Data Optimized, or EVDO Rev 0 and Rev A. They also support the 3GPP technologies of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) such as GSM, EDGE or Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution, GPRS or General Packet Radio Service, high-speed packet access (HSPA) which included High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), and High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). In addition, the new LTE 4G technology is supported.
