Description
The BG95 is a series of multi-mode LPWA modules supporting LTE Cat M1/Cat NB2/EGPRS and integrated GNSS which meets the 3GPP Release 14 specification. The BG95 has pin-to-pin compatibility with Quectel LTE Cat 4 modules EG91/EG95, LTE Cat M1/Cat NB1/EGPRS module BG96, NB-IoT module BC95-G, UMTS/HSPA modules UG95/UG96 and GSM/GPRS module M95.
The BG95 achieves maximum downlink rates of 588 Kbps and uplink rates of 1119 Kbps under LTE Cat M1. The module’s integrated RAM and flash memory enables ultra-low power consumption, and the ARM Cortex A7 processor (which supports ThreadX) enables up to 70% reduction in PSM leakage and 85% reduction in eDRX current consumption compared to its predecessor.
The BG95’s highly integrated, cost-effective and compact SMT form factor of 23.6mm × 19.9mm × 2.2mm allows integrators and developers to benefit from its mechanical intensity and low power consumption and design their applications with ease, and its advanced LGA package enables fully automated manufacturing for high-volume applications. The module’s comprehensive array of hardware-based security features enable trusted applications to run directly on the Cortex A7 TrustZone engine.
A rich set of internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities (e.g. USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android etc.) allow the module to serve a wide range of IoT applications such as wireless POS, smart metering, asset tracking, wearable devices and more.
