Description

The BC95-G is a high-performance NB-IoT module which supports multiple frequency bands (B1/B3/B8/B5/B20/B28). It is designed to be compatible with Quectel GSM/GPRS M95 and LPWA BC95 modules, in order to provide a flexible and scalable platform for migrating from GSM/GPRS to NB-IoT networks.

The BC95-G’s ultra-compact, unified form factor of 23.6mm × 19.9mm × 2.2mm makes it a perfect choice for size-sensitive applications, and surface mounted technology makes it ideal for durable and rugged designs. Its small LCC package is also ideally suited to large-scale manufacturing, which has strict requirements on efficiency and cost.

The module’s small size, extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C 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.
