Quectel BC660K-GL Compact NB-IoT Module with Ultra-low Power Consumption

Description

1.Decription

BC660K-GL is a high-performance LTE Cat NB2 module which supports multiple frequency bands of B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B28/B66/B70/B85 with extremely low power consumption. The module’s ultra-compact profile (17.7 mm × 15.8 mm × 2.0 mm) makes it a perfect choice for size-sensitive applications.

Designed to be compatible withQuectel GSM/GPRS M66 module and NB-IoT BC66/BC66-NA, BC65 and BC68-GV modules, it provides a flexible and scalable platform for the migration from GSM/GPRS to NB-IoT networks.

BC660K-GL adopts the surface-mount technology, which makes it an ideal solution for durable and rugged designs. The module’s small LCC package allows it to be easily embedded into space-constrained applications and to enjoy reliable connection with the applications. This kind of package suits well large-scale manufacturing which has strict requirements on cost and efficiency.

Due to the ultra-compact profile, super-low power consumption and extended temperature range, BC660K-GL is one of the best choices for a wide range of IoT applications, such as smart metering, bike sharing, smart parking, smart city, security and asset tracking, home appliances, agricultural and environmental monitoring, etc. It is able to provide a complete range of SMS and data transmission services to meet various user demands.
