I want to obtain the CQI parameter (channel quality indication) from my Quectel EC25. I reviewed the AT commands but I have no clue of how I could obtain this value.

I reviewed the guide as well, and I confirm that the CQI itself is not returned by any command. Anyway, the command closer to what you are looking is probably +CQT.

From EC25 AT commands guide the command, which is a standar ETSII command so you'll find it in pretty every cellular modem, is:

The command indicates the received signal strength <rssi> and the channel bit error rate <ber>. By issuing execution command

AT+CSQ

the following response is received

+CSQ: <rssi>,<ber> 

OK

in which <rssi> contains the received signal strength indication mapped in the following way:

<rssi> Signal level
0 -113dBm or less
1 -111dBm
2...30 -109dBm... -53dBm
31 -51dBm or greater
99 Not known or not detectable
100 -116dBm or less
101 -115dBm
102...190 -114dBm...-26dBm
191 -25dBm or greater
199 Not known or not detectable
