Build a Private 5G NR Sensor Node with Arduino Mega and Quectel RM500Q — Ultra-Low Latency IoT Streaming Kit

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

Stream temperature, humidity, and pressure data from DHT22 and BMP280 sensors over a dedicated 5G Standalone core — without cellular network dependency — for industrial telemetry, IIoT proof‑of‑concepts, or lab‑grade 5G research. The Quectel RM500Q‑GL module on Arduino Mega acts as a UE, reading sensors, time‑stamping with DS3231, and pushing MQTT packets over a private SA network with sub‑10ms latency.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a fully enclosed, DIN‑rail mountable 5G NR test node that reads environmental sensors and pushes time‑stamped data to a local MQTT broker or cloud endpoint over a private 5G SA network. A 0.96‑inch OLED displays live readings, and the MicroSD stores logs for offline analysis. The node can be replicated for multi‑cell IIoT testbeds.

What You'll Learn

• Configuring Quectel RM500Q 5G module via AT commands on Arduino Mega
• Interfacing multiple I2C sensors (DHT22, BMP280) and DS3231 RTC for precise data logging
• Deploying a private 5G Standalone core and registering the node as a UE
• Building a robust power supply with LM2596 buck converter and a professional enclosure

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE final‑year students designing 5G‑enabled IIoT projects, Smart India Hackathon teams rapidly prototyping private network solutions, and R&D engineers at telecom labs evaluating Quectel RM500Q integration with Amarisoft cores. ATL Tinkering Labs advancing from LoRa to 5G will find the pre‑tested stack reduces integration risk.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
