IQ5 Hub with AT&T LTE
Touchscreen w/PG+ and Z-Wave 800
Description
The IQH5018 is the AT&T LTE version of the Qolsys IQ5 Hub. It delivers the same core platform, processing power, and wireless technology as the IQ Panel 5, but in a simplified hub-style form factor without a built-in panel camera.
The hub runs Android 14 on a Qualcomm Dragonwing quad-core processor. It includes dual-path communication with AT&T LTE CAT-4 and dual-band Wi-Fi. This ensures strong and reliable connectivity to Alarm.com services for remote access, automation, and notifications.
Built-in PowerG+ wireless at 915 MHz provides encrypted two-way communication with excellent range and reliability. The IQH5018 supports up to 128 PowerG+ security sensors, up to 100 PowerG automation devices, and up to 167 total devices. This makes it suitable for larger homes and multi-device systems.
The IQ5 Hub also supports optional RF daughter cards, allowing it to work with additional wireless sensor frequencies beyond the built-in radios. These plug-in cards are commonly used during takeovers or retrofits where existing sensors need to remain in service. The PG+ daughtercard comes pre-installed, but other supported options include the QC0001-840 (319.5 MHz IQ Card), QC0004-840 (433 MHz IQ Card), and the QC0005-840 (345 MHz IQ Card). Adding the correct daughter card allows the IQ Hub to support legacy sensors without changing the core PowerG+ system design, making it easier to adapt the hub to a wide range of installations.
The IQH5018 also includes Z-Wave 800 Series with Z-Wave Long Range. This improves smart home performance and reduces the need for repeaters. Bluetooth 5.0 + LE is built in for touchless disarming and mobile proximity features.
Hardware includes a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with 1080 × 600 resolution, one microphone, one speaker, and an 85 dB siren. A 24-hour backup battery keeps the system active during power loss. The system supports up to four partitions and up to 242 user codes.
