Private 5G NR Test Node Kit: Arduino Mega + Quectel RM500Q for Ultra-Low Latency Sensor Streaming

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Deploy a standalone 5G NR sensor node that streams temperature, humidity, and pressure data directly to your private 5G standalone core. Using the Quectel RM500Q module on an Arduino Mega, this kit delivers ultra-low latency for real-time industrial monitoring, smart city mesh prototyping, or advanced telecom research—no piecemeal sourcing or compatibility guesswork required.

What You'll Build

You’ll create a DIN-rail-mounted, enclosed sensor node that connects to your private 5G SA network, captures environmental data at millisecond intervals, timestamps each reading via the DS3231 RTC, logs everything to microSD, and displays metrics live on the OLED. The result is a ready-to-deploy testbed for 5G IoT throughput and latency experiments.

What You'll Learn

• Integrate the Quectel RM500Q 5G modem with Arduino Mega over serial AT commands
• Configure 5G SA network parameters—IMEI, APN, bands—for a private core like Open5GS
• Build a multi-sensor pipeline (DHT22 + BMP280) with timestamped local logging
• Design industrial-grade power regulation from 12V down to 5V/3.3V rails
