LTE CAT9 WWAN module for ThinkPad upgrades

The Lenovo ThinkPad Fibocom L850-GL is an LTE CAT9 M.2 WWAN module built on the Intel 7360 platform. It delivers downlink speeds up to 450 Mbps and uplink speeds up to 50 Mbps for mobile broadband connectivity. The module fits M.2 slots measuring 30 by 40 by 2.3 mm in compatible ThinkPad laptops. It is intended for users who need to add or upgrade cellular data capability on supported devices.

Sustained cellular throughput in real conditions

Under continuous load the module maintains its rated CAT9 performance envelope of 450 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up where network coverage and carrier aggregation allow. Thermal output remains low thanks to the compact 2.3 mm profile and the Intel 7360 platform efficiency. No active cooling is required and the module does not throttle during extended data sessions. Actual sustained rates depend on signal quality, band availability and network congestion rather than the hardware itself.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your ThinkPad has an available M.2 WWAN slot with the 30 by 40 mm keying and that the BIOS whitelist permits the L850-GL part number 01AX792. Antenna cables are not included so confirm that the laptop chassis already routes the necessary LTE antenna leads to the WWAN slot. Ensure the operating system supports the Intel 7360 modem drivers for your region. Buyers who need 5G NR or satellite connectivity cannot use this module.
