Description

The BC92 is a high-performance, multi-band NB-IoT/GSM dual-mode module which provides abundant external interfaces and protocol stacks and is designed to be compatible with Quectel’s GSM/GPRS M95, NB-IoT BC95-G and LPWA BG95 modules.

The BC92’s ultra-compact form factor of 23.6mm × 19.9mm × 2.2mm makes it a perfect choice for size-sensitive applications. Its small LCC package allows it to be embedded easily to provide reliable connectivity, and surface mounted technology makes it ideal for durable and rugged designs.

The BC92’s small size and ultra-low power consumption allow it to serve a wide range of IoT use cases such as smart metering, shared micromobility, smart parking, connected security solutions, asset tracking, smart home appliances, intelligent agriculture and environmental monitoring. It can also provide a complete range of SMS and data transmission services to meet client-side demands.
