The SC206E series is Quectel’s new generation of multi-mode LTE Cat 4 smart module. Based on Qualcomm 64-bit quadcore Cortex-A53 processors with built-in Adreno 702 GPU, it is ideal for both industrial and consumer applications requiring high data rates, multimedia functions and long lifetime support.

The SC206E series is available in three variants: SC206E-EM, SC206E-NA, and the Wi-Fi & Bluetooth-only-version SC206E-WF. SC206E 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 data speeds. This module also combines high-speed wireless connectivity with an 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) allow the module to serve a wide range of M2M applications, including edge device, edge computing, smart POS, smart cash registers, smart home gateways, smart robots, smart wearables, smart safety, PDA & tablets, vending machines, delivery lockers, as well as video streaming and entertainment systems.
