  • Supports 5G sub-6 FDD and TDD for global deployment
  • Supports SA and NSA operations and 5G core network
  • Standard M.2 (NGFF) data card form factor
  • Each variant is available with or without PC1.5 support on 5G TDD bands n41, n77, n78 and n79
FN990A40 and FN990A28 LTE 5G data cards.

Product Description

The industrial-grade M.2 form factor is suitable for many high-performance and bandwidth-intensive enterprise and industrial applications. Use cases include:

  • Fixed wireless access
  • Enterprise routers and gateways
  • Indoor and outdoor CPE
  • Professional broadcasting and surveillance

Designed for global usage, the FN990A40 and FN990A28 incorporate support for all scenarios prescribed by 3GPP Release (Rel) 16 5G deployments.

  • Opt. 3a/3x and Opt. 2 for full network compatibility
  • Latest generation 4G and 5G Rel 16 4G Cat 20 up to 7xCA for FN990A40 4G Cat 19 up to 5xCA for FN990A28
  • Intraband and interband UL CA supported on 4G networks for improved throughput performance for uplink-centric applications (e.g., surveillance cameras and 4K/8K video streaming)
  • 3G HSPA+ Rel 8 for fallback to legacy networks
  • Support for PCIe Gen 3 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 for maximum application design flexibility
  • Dedicated/shared (switchable) RF path/connector for GNSS L1 to allow total flexibility in the design phase and low losses whenever high sensitivity is required
  • Internal GNSS L1 LNA allows the use of less expensive passive antennas, lowering the total cost of ownership

Form Factor Family
