Quectel Wireless Solutions, the leading global supplier of IoT and automotive

communication modules, has been collaborating with Marelli, one of the world's

leading global independent suppliers to the automotive sector, on a broad range

of projects over the last five years. Quectel has supported Marelli's migration

equipment manufacturers (OEMs) which use Quectel's AG35 LTE-NAD. The first of

these will achieve start of production (SOP) this year.

In addition, Marelli and Quectel have established a joint basis to advance work

on 5G and cellular vehicle-to-x (C-V2X) platforms. The two companies have also

enabled evolved LTE connectivity utilizing the Quectel AG520R and AG55xQ

platforms. The relationship, which is Quectel's first with an automotive

industry customer outside China, enables both companies to be fully-prepared

for requests for quotes (RFQs).

"I'm delighted to reveal our five-year collaboration with Marelli and the

awarding of two contracts from European OEMs to Marelli that include our AG35

LTE-NAD," said Dominikus Hierl, SVP Sales at Quectel Wireless Solutions. "We're

proud to see production scheduled to start later this year and to have achieved

such a broad and long-standing relationship with Marelli in Europe."

solutions are important elements for Marelli Telematic Boxes to enable advanced

functions, services and applications for carmakers," stated Wisea Wu, Head of

Marelli Electronics BU in China. "Quectel supports Marelli in its multi-level

approach, from 4G and 5G technology, to cybersecurity SW & HW solutions, up to
