Frequently Asked Questions

What cellular technologies do Balong modems support?

Balong modems support comprehensive cellular technologies: 5G NR - both SA (Standalone) and NSA (Non-Standalone) modes with sub-6GHz and mmWave support

LTE - Cat 4 through Cat 20 with carrier aggregation

3G/HSPA+ - for legacy network compatibility

2G/GSM - for global coverage and fallback

NB-IoT and eMTC - for low-power IoT applications. The multi-mode architecture enables seamless handover between technologies for optimal connectivity. All Balong modems support global frequency bands for worldwide deployment.

Select Balong modems based on your target network technology and regional band requirements.

How do I choose between integrated and discrete Balong modems?

Integrated modems (in Kirin processors) offer advantages: Lower power consumption - shared power management and no inter-chip communication

Smaller PCB footprint - no separate modem chip

Cost optimization - single chip vs. two chips

Better thermal management - shared cooling solution. Discrete modems (Balong 5000, 711) offer: Flexibility - pair with any application processor

Upgrade path - swap modem without changing AP

Multi-AP support - one modem for multiple processors. Choose integrated for smartphones and tablets where space and power are critical. Choose discrete for IoT devices, industrial systems, and applications requiring modem flexibility.

Use integrated modems for mobile devices; use discrete modems for IoT and industrial applications.

What are the data rates of Balong 5G modems?

Balong 5G modems deliver industry-leading data rates: Balong 5000 - up to 6.5 Gbps download and 3.5 Gbps upload (sub-6GHz)

Balong 711 - up to 2.5 Gbps download for IoT applications

LTE fallback - up to 2 Gbps with Cat 20. Real-world speeds depend on network conditions, carrier configuration, and signal strength. Typical user experience: 100-500 Mbps download in good 5G coverage

20-100 Mbps in LTE mode

Latency as low as 1-4ms in 5G SA mode. The modems support carrier aggregation for enhanced speeds and seamless mobility between cells.

Balong modems provide more than adequate bandwidth for any mobile or IoT application.

What carrier certifications do Balong modems have?

Balong modems hold comprehensive carrier certifications: Global - GCF (Global Certification Forum) for worldwide compatibility

North America - FCC, PTCRB, and major carrier certifications (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile)

Europe - CE marking and carrier certifications

Asia - CCC (China), TELEC (Japan), KC (Korea)

Regional - certifications for Middle East, Latin America, Africa. The certification portfolio enables deployment on virtually any carrier network worldwide. For specific carrier requirements, contact BeiLuo to verify current certification status.

Balong modems are certified for global deployment on major carrier networks.

What power consumption can I expect from Balong modems?

Balong modem power consumption varies by mode: 5G active - 500-800mW during data transfer

LTE active - 300-500mW typical

Idle/connected - 10-30mW in power save mode

Sleep - <1mW for IoT applications. The advanced power management includes: Adaptive power control based on signal strength

Discontinuous reception (DRX) for idle power savings

Carrier aggregation power optimization

Temperature-based power limiting. For battery-powered devices, the low power consumption extends battery life significantly compared to older generation modems.

Balong modems offer excellent power efficiency for both mobile and battery-powered IoT applications.
