Global IoT module compatibility rankings (2026)
We rated 39 modules and devices on all 465 networks in 172 countries. The Quectel RG255C-GL rates good on 465 networks (100%), the most of any model. Rankings use the same verdicts as every Band Atlas page: coverage bands weigh double, and a device is good on a network when it covers its main bands and a coverage band.

Method
Each model’s 4G/5G bands come from its maker’s datasheet; every network band carries at least one graded source; “countries fully covered” means good on every network of that country. The data updates with the rest of the site; download it as open data.
