# Quectel powers global connectivity and flexible deployment models with new iSIM-enabled module BG773A-GL

**Nuremberg – June 21, 2022**:  Quectel Wireless Solutions has launched the [BG773A-GL](https://www.quectel.com/product/lpwa-bg770a-gl),  a new ultra-compact LTE Cat M1, NB1 and NB2 module which offers integrated  SIM (iSIM) support. The iSIM capability of this new module provides huge  flexibility and simplicity for integrators and IoT service providers because,  in essence, it enables a device with a single stock-keeping unit (SKU) number  to have the right connectivity to support its needs globally. Ultimately,  this provides a simpler way for integrators to adopt cellular connectivity,  removing the needs for country-specific SIM cards and simplifying the  logistics of traditional, plastic SIM deployments by eradicating the need for  on-site or in-country adaptations.

## Making iSIM a reality

Quectel has been at the  forefront of making the promise of iSIM a reality and has been working to  tightly align module performance with the new wave of embedded and integrated  SIM features that are revolutionizing what is possible in IoT connectivity.  The BG773A-GL module also features ultra-low power consumption implemented by  the MIPS 5150 processor and integrated RAM and flash, which help reduce  current consumption to low levels in various modes, including power saving  mode (PSM) and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX). Importantly, the  BG773A-GL boasts a comprehensive hardware-based security feature – Integrated  Security Elements (ISE). This is essential because iSIM relies on having a  robust secure element to enable it to connect to the best available  connectivity at the point of deployment.  The module will be  commercially available from mid July 2022.

“We’re delighted to have launched the Quectel  BG773A-GL module which brings iSIM-enabled connectivity to the global  marketplace,” says Richard Hart, Director of Global Connectivity, [Quectel  Connectivity Solutions](https://www.quectel.com/iot-connectivity-services). “By enabling integrators to create a single  global product with one SKU, logistics and supply chain issues are eliminated  and IoT organizations can simply deploy their products anywhere safe in the  knowledge that they will be able to access secure, high-quality connectivity  with no need for localization and different variants to be manufactured for  different markets. This is a giant leap forward for simplifying IoT and one  of the key steps needed to build a smarter world.”

The module offers an ultra-compact  SMT form factor of 14.9mm × 12.9mm × 1.9mm and enables integrators and  developers to design applications easily taking advantage of its low power  consumption and compact design structure. The BG773A-GL’s industry-standard  interfaces and abundant functionalities extend the suitability of the module  to a wide range of IoT applications, such as wireless POS, smart metering,  tracking, wearable devices, and many others.

## Collaboration with  Kigen

Quectel has collaborated with [Kigen](https://kigen.com/), the iSIM pioneer and  global security leader to enable the iSIM functionality on BG773A-GL. Kigen’s  industry-leading iSIM OS and key insertion services bring a wide selection of  networks that augment Quectel connectivity for OEMs to meet their market  needs. 

“Quectel’s adoption of Kigen iSIM as a pre-packaged solution  in the BG773A-GL is a testimony to the maturity of iSIM technology and our  ecosystem,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO of Kigen. “Quectel is a market leader  in high-volume manufacturing, and this collaboration will enable OEMs who want  to move from pure embedded devices to full IoT solutions for global markets  quickly.”
