Vancouver, 28 June 2023: Quectel  Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, has today unveiled its  latest innovation in satellite communications, the CC660D-LS module, designed  specifically to ensure comprehensive global coverage for seamless  connectivity.

The CC660D-LS  module offers versatile connectivity options, including L-band,  S-band, and Band 23 connections. In addition, the module supports 3GPP  Release 17 IoT non-terrestrial network (IoT-NTN) connections. With  reliable connectivity a priority, the CC660D-LS module addresses this need by  supporting two-way communication. It facilitates not only data transmission  but also SMS SOS functionality, allowing emergency notifications when needed.  Additionally, the module support IP and Non-IP service network, ensuring  enhanced connectivity and service availability.

The module also  boasts remarkably low power consumption through the implementation of various  power-saving modes. These modes include discontinuous reception (DRX),  extended DRX (eDRX), and power-saving mode (PSM), enabling efficient energy management.  Measuring 17.7mm x 15.8mm x 2.0mm, the CC660D-LS features Quectel Enhanced AT  Commands, supports SIM/eSIM and offers embedded Internet service protocols,  enabling low latency satellite connectivity via UART communication  interface.

“We’re delighted to announce the  Quectel CC660D-LS satellite communication module which will provide global  coverage to a wide range of connected devices,” said Norbert Muhrer, CSO and  President, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “The module supports IoT-NTN  connections enabling efficient data communications for low bandwidth  applications anywhere on the planet. We’re proud of the CC660D-LS module’s  low power consumption and its capability to support deployments regardless of  their location.”

The module is highly versatile and can be effectively utilized  across various industries, particularly those that traditionally struggle to  maintain connectivity due to remote locations such as mining, smart grids and  oil and gas pipeline monitoring. It is also well-suited for applications in  the transportation sector to enable as vehicle, asset, chassis, and container  tracking and additionally offers great potential for deployment in smart  agriculture, environmental monitoring, heavy equipment monitoring, and  construction fleet management. Additionally, the module has valuable  applications in the maritime sector, including vessel connection and maritime  buoys. This further expands its reach and usefulness in diverse maritime  operations.

Engineering samples of the Quectel CC660D-LS  are currently available, and the module is currently going through the CE and  FCC certification processes with mass production scheduled for Q4  2023.
