SC280M series is Quectel’s new generation of multi-mode smart LTE Cat 4 module with built-in Android 13 OS. Based on MT8768 high-performance 64-bit octa-core processors (4 × A53 @ 2.0 GHz + 4 × A53 @ 1.5 GHz) with built-in IMG GE8320 @ 650 MHz GPU, it is an ideal solution for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications requiring high data rates and multimedia functions. SC280M series comes in three variants: SC280M-EM, SC280MCE* and SC280M-WF* (only supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth).

The SC280M series module supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. The concurrent use of multiple antennas at the receiver end on the same frequency band greatly minimizes bit error rate and optimizes the data speed, thereby improving communication quality. The module also supports multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo and QZSS) receiver for fast and accurate positioning.

A rich set of interfaces (such as LCM, camera, touch panel, video, audio, UART, USB, I2C, I2S and SPI) are integrated to extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications, including smart cash registers, smart POS, tax control machines, smart safety, on-board equipment, high-end information acquisition equipment, smart robots, smart home, smart hardware, industrial smart handheld equipment, drones, audio and video recorders, smart interphones, smart wearables, vending machines, and logistics cabinets.
