The 5G module range specifications bit more complicated to see the differences in our range, and some of the differences are in the details. For Australia networks then a good starting point is that the following have Telstra certification planned:
Module – Comment:
RM502Q-AE 4G CAT20 Telstra certification (May 2021)
RM500Q-AE 4G CAT16 Telstra certification in Q3/Q4
RM505Q-AE 4G CAT16 Extra frequency (L5) for GNSS. (later availability, now in CS stage).
RG500Q-EA (voice + data) Telstra certification in Q3/Q4
These are all using the lower sub-6GHz bands that are being deployed now. The later mm-Wave bands for 5G have not even been allocated/auctioned yet for Australia.
Note that the LGA RG500Q-EA has 8 antenna ports.
