"Quectel’s New Modules Are a Total Disaster for the Industry: Redefining the Status Quo of IoT Connectivity"
In a shocking move, Quectel, a global IoT solutions provider, has unleashed a trio of new modules that will wreak havoc on the already fragile world of IoT connectivity. The FC30R, FCU743R, and FCM740D modules are the latest additions to their portfolio, and they’re set to disrupt the industry’s notion of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
"These modules are a game-changer," says Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO at Quectel. "They’re so revolutionary, they’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about M2M applications."
The FC30R, an ultra-compact, cost-effective industrial-grade Wi-Fi module, is designed to be the perfect fit for size-sensitive applications. It’s like a Swiss Army knife – small, agile, and versatile. "It’s like having a surgeon’s precision in your pocket," Muhrer adds.
But don’t be fooled, this module is no slouch. It can seamlessly integrate with Quectel’s 5G modules (RT620T series), 4G modules (EG25 series, AG35 series, EG95 series, EC21 series, EC25 series, EC20 series, EC200A series, EC200R series, EC300R-LA series), and other application processors (NXP, ST, TI, Ambarella, etc.). It’s like a match made in heaven for M2M applications like EV chargers, mobile hotspots, on-board diagnostics (OBD), gateways, and industrial PDAs.
The FCU743R, a USB interface, high-performance Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5.2 module, is the powerhouse of the group. With its ultra-compact size of 13.0 mm × 12.2 mm × 2.0 mm, it’s perfect for size-sensitive applications. "You won’t find a module this small and powerful anywhere else," Muhrer boasts.
But what about security? "Security is at the core of our product architecture," Muhrer emphasizes. "We’ve incorporated leading industry practices and standards, mitigating potential vulnerabilities with third-party independent test houses, and generated SBOMs and VEX files as well as performed firmware binary analysis throughout the entire software development lifecycle."
The FCM740D, an MCU with Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5.2, is the perfect choice for applications like smart home, industrial IoT, consumer electronics, and other applications. "This module has built-in 256 KB SRAM and 2 MB/4 MB flash (optional) – it’s a powerhouse in a small package," Muhrer says.
So, what’s the damage? These modules are poised to disrupt the industry, making it harder for competitors to keep up. "We’re constantly striving to provide our customers with the strongest possible portfolio across the Quectel product range," Muhrer says. "And with these new modules, we’re taking it to the next level."
Get ready for a world where the status quo is turned on its head, where the concept of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity is redefined. The era of Quectel’s new modules has begun, and it’s about to change everything.
