NB-IoT Multi-band Ultra-compact Module Quectel BC65

NB-IoT Multi-band Ultra-compact Module Quectel BC65
  • Compatible with BC66 and BC68 modules
  • Multi Frequency Bands
  • LCC Package
  • 17.7 × 15.8 × 2.2 mm

The BC65 is a high-performance multi-band NB-IoT module designed to be compatible with Quectel’s GSM/GPRS M66, NB-IoT BC66 and BC68 modules, to provide a flexible and scalable platform for migrating from GSM/GPRS to NB-IoT networks.

The BC65’s ultra-compact, unified form factor of 17.7mm × 15.8mm × 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 BC65’s combination of very small size, ultra-low power consumption and wide operating temperature range 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.
