Nexus EC200A-EUAB Introducing
A modem combining OpenWRT with the Quectel EC200A LTE Cat 4 module delivers a flexible, secure, and highly configurable connectivity solution for M2M and IoT deployments. The EC200A family (CN/EU/AU variants) supports worldwide LTE, UMTS/HSPA+ and GSM/GPRS/EDGE fallback, offering up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink with MIMO for improved throughput and link reliability. Its compact, unified form factor and compatibility with Quectel’s EC25/EC21/EC20/EG25 families enable easy hardware migration, while USB serial drivers for Windows, Linux and Android and support for Delta Firmware Over-The-Air (DFOTA) simplify integration and remote maintenance.
OpenWRT provides a powerful open-source router OS layer for advanced routing, firewalling, VPNs, package management and custom scripting, giving integrators full control over networking features and security settings. Paired with the EC200A’s industrial-grade design, durable laser-engraved casing and broad protocol support, this combination is ideal for industrial routers, MiFi devices, rugged PDAs, video surveillance, digital signage and other fielded IoT applications where reliability, remote manageability and cost-effectiveness matter.
