SC206E series is Quectel’s new generation of multi-mode Smart LTE Cat 4 module. Based on Qualcomm 64-bit quadcore Cortex-A53 processors with built-in AdrenoTM 702 GPU, it is ideal for both industrial and consumer applications requiring high data rate, multimedia functions and long lifetime support. SC206E series is available in three variants: SC206E-EM, SC206E-NA, and the Wi-Fi&Bluetooth-only-version SC206E-WF.
SC206E series supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. The use of multiple antennas at the receiver end on the same frequency band greatly minimizes errors and improves the data speed. This module also combines high-speed wireless connectivity with embedded multi-constellation and high-sensitivity GNSS receiver supporting GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS (SC206E-NA supports NavIC and L1 + L5) for positioning.
A rich set of interfaces (such as LCM, Camera, Touch Panel, MIC, Line Out, UART, USB, I2C and SPI) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications, including edge device, edge computing, smart POS, smart cash registers, smart home gateways, smart robots, smart wearables, security surveillance, PDA & tablets, vending machines, delivery lockers, video streaming and entertainment systems, etc.
