Quectel Wireless Solutions has launched the SC696S series of multi-mode smart LTE modules equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. Designed to support multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, the module ensures exceptional performance and reliability. Quectel’s latest generation of multi-mode smart LTE Cat 4 modules empower a wide array of applications, with its built-in Linux operating system.
The adoption of MIMO technology enables the concurrent use of multiple antennas at the receiver end on the same frequency, which minimises bit error rate and optimises data speed, improving communication quality. The modules also support a multi-constellation GNSS receiver for applications that require fast and accurate positioning.
“We’re delighted to launch the Quectel SC696S series of multi-mode modules, which offer outstanding performance for a wide range of applications that demand high-quality communication,” said Norbert Muhrer, president and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “The modules are ideal for a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications that require high data rates and rich multimedia functions. We’re proud to bring the high-performance processing power of the Qualcomm QCM6125 SOC plus the graphics processing capability of Adreno 610 GPU to purchasers of the SC696S series of Quectel modules.”
The module has been designed to support a wide range of applications ranging from smart cash registers and point of sale (POS) devices to on-board equipment, robots, smart home devices, industrial handheld equipment, wearables, vending machines, and other smart hardware. To support these use cases, the module offers LCM, touch panel, UART, USB, I2C, I2S and SPI interfaces. It also has a camera interface and can support a maximum of six cameras, two of which can be working concurrently.
Leveraging the power of the Qualcomm QCM6125 System-on-Chip (SoC) for IoT, and accompanied by a built-in Qualcomm Adreno 610 GPU, this series delivers unparalleled processing capabilities and enhances the efficiency of diverse IoT use cases.
