The data cards operate with the full feature set of the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X65 (FN990A40) for the high-tier market and the Snapdragon™ X62 fourth generation 5G modem RF system (FN990A28) for the mid-tier market. Both support the latest 5G implementations as well as all major sub-6 GHz frequency bands, offering users maximum flexibility in deploying future-proof applications with the out-of-the-box benefits of 5G and Gigabit LTE.

High design flexibility
The data cards support both PCIe Gen 3 and USB 3.1 Gen 2, providing maximum application design flexibility. In addition, a dedicated or shared (switchable) RF path/connection for GNSS L1 provides full design-in flexibility and low loss when high sensitivity is required. An internal GNSS L1 Low Noise Amplifier provides the option to use cheaper passive antennas and thus reduce the overall cost of an application.

Further advantages:

• 4G Cat 20 up to 7 CA for FN990A40; 4G Cat 19 up to 5 CA for FN990A28
• Support for intraband and interband UL CA in 4G networks for better throughput performance in uplink-centric applications such as surveillance cameras and 4K/8K video streaming
• 3G HSPA+ Rel. 8 for fallback to legacy networks
