Replaceable Models and Key Differences

As specified in the document E840-TTL(EC05-xxx) User Manual_v1.2.pdf, the following three models are compatible but require attention to their distinctions:

1. E840-TTL(EC05-DNC)

  • Version: Domestic (China) version

  • Supported Frequency Bands:
    LTE-TDD: B34/B38/B39/B40/B41; LTE-FDD: B1/B3/B5/B8

  • Positioning Function: Does not support GNSS positioning.

  • Applicable Region: Primarily for the Chinese market.

2. E840-TTL(EC05-DGC)

  • Version: Domestic (China) version (with positioning)

  • Supported Frequency Bands: Same as EC05-DNC.

  • Positioning Function: Supported. Integrates GPS/BDS/Galileo/GLONASS for combined positioning; location can be queried via AT commands or reported via heartbeat packets.

  • Applicable Region: Primarily for the Chinese market, specifically scenarios requiring positioning.

3. E840-TL(EC05-DNE)

  • Version: Europe & Asia version

  • Supported Frequency Bands: LTE-FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28

  • Positioning Function: Does not support GNSS positioning.

  • Applicable Region: Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions.

Decision Guidelines Based on Scenarios:

  • For projects in China requiring GPS/BDS positioning: Select E840-TTL(EC05-DGC).

  • For projects in China without positioning needs: Select E840-TTL(EC05-DNC).

  • For projects in Europe or Southeast Asia: Select E840-TL(EC05-DNE).

Final Recommendation
Before selecting a replacement model, verify your device’s required carrier frequency bands and functional requirements (e.g., positioning). Cross-reference the parameters of each model in the document to ensure network compatibility and functional suitability for your project.
