Smart modules portfolio update: Linux vs Android architecture

Quectel's smart modules bring together a multitude of embedded functionalities - computing power, peripherals, graphics processing, data storage and connectivity - into unique and highly compact pieces of hardware. They also have integrated operating systems, the most popular being Android and Linux. Before deciding which operating system is best for them, product designers must understand the advantages and limitations of each. Typically, Linux is preferred for industrial use cases, while Android is often a choice for commercial cases, but each should be considered on its own merits depending on the precise application.

In this Masterclass webinar, our experts explain how to choose between Android and Linux operating systems for your smart module-enabled device. They discuss the software architecture of both operating systems, and how they work with the hardware architecture when using smart modules. The webinar will conclude with a live demonstration of how to on-board a sensor.
