Key Features of the FN980

• Support of 5G sub-6 FDD and TDD and mmWave (FN980m only) for global deployment
• Two-in-one mmWave antenna connectors (FN980m only) reduce the number of insertions required in production to a maximum of four
• Support of SA and NSA operations, 5G core network Opt. 3a/3x and Opt. 2 for full network compatibility
• Latest generation 4G/5G Rel. 15 • 4G Cat 20 up to 7 CA • Intraband and interband UL CA supported on 4G networks for better throughput performance for uplink-centric applications, like surveillance cameras and 4K/8K video streaming
• 3G HSPA+ Rel. 8 for fallback to legacy networks • Standard M.2 (NGFF) data card form factor
• Support for both PCIe Gen 3 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 for maximum application design flexibility
• State-of-the-art GNSS receiver with double frequency GPS (Band L1/L5) for better accuracy
• 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 allowing the use of less expensive passive antennas, lowering the total cost of ownership
