Description
1.Decription
NB IoT Module BC65 is a high-performance multi-band NB-IoT module with extremely low power consumption. The ultra-compact 17.7 mm × 15.8 mm × 2.2 mm profile makes it a perfect choice for size sensitive applications. Designed to be compatible with Quectel GSM/GPRS M66, NB-IoT BC66, BC66-NA, BC68 and BC660K-GL modules in the compact and unified form factor, BC65 provides great convenience for migrating from GSM/GPRS to NB-IoT network.
Adopting surface-mount technology, BC65 is an ideal solution for durable and rugged designs. The low profile and small size of LCC package allow the module to be easily embedded into space-constrained applications and provide reliable connectivity with applications.
Due to its compact form factor, ultra-low power consumption and extended operating temperature range, BC65 is one of the best choice for a wide range of IoT applications, ranging from smart metering, bike sharing, smart wearables, smart parking, smart city, security and asset tracking to home appliances, agricultural and environmental monitoring, etc. Additionally, it provides a complete range of SMS* and data transmission services to meet client side demands.
