The 5G NR Sub-6 GHz module is designed for today’s and upcoming 5G networks, for which a downlink speed of up to 5.5 Gbps and an uplink speed of 3 Gbps is advertised. It supports the mixed-mode combination of LTE+5G networks in use today and can also support pure 4G networks. The high number of 5G and LTE bands supported makes the module suitable for use in both Europe and North America. Versions for other regions will follow.

The module is equipped with the standard Viprinet hotplug module connector. When used in existing modular Viprinet routers, it will be able to provide “real” 250 Mbps, which is largely in line with what is actually expected in 5G networks today. It also features a secondary hot-plug connector, which is used in future router models. This enable the module to deliver speeds in excess of 1 Gbps as soon as pure 5G networks support this with higher frequency bands.
