Quectel  BG95-S5
3GPP NTN Satellite Communication Module
  • NTN, LPWA, EGPRS and GNSS satellite communication module
  • LGA form factor
  • 23.6 mm × 19.9 mm × 2.2 mm
  • Extended temperature of -40 °C to +85 °C

Quectel BG95-S5 is a 3GPP NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) satellite communication module which supports S-band (B256/ B23) and L-Band (B255) based on 3GPP Rel-17, and features multi-mode supporting LTE Cat M1/ Cat NB2/EGPRS and integrated GNSS.

With a cost-effective SMT form factor of 23.6 mm × 19.9 mm × 2.2 mm and high integration level, BG95-S5 enables integrators and developers to easily design their applications and take advantage from the module’s low power consumption and mechanical intensity. Its advanced LGA package allows fully automated manufacturing for high-volume applications. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry standard interfaces and abundant functions extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as tracker, smart metering, wearable devices, etc.

Key Features:

    • LTE Cat M1/ Cat NB2/ EGPRS module with ultra-low power consumption
    • Integrated RAM/flash in the baseband chipset
    • Compact SMT form factor ideal for size-constrained applications
    • Abundant embedded Internet service protocols
    • Robust mounting and interfaces
