MWC Barcelona, 27th February 2023  – Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, today  announces its participation in this year’s MWC Barcelona with a focus on  showcasing its latest edge intelligence solutions. Quectel’s smart  module solutions enable customers to process data in real-time and  make quicker, data-driven decisions as well as offering a range of features  including low power consumption, edge computing, edge intelligence,  high-speed connectivity, and advanced security  measures. 

“MWC Barcelona is providing us with the ideal platform to  showcase the digital transformation that we’re driving across the industry,”  commented Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “The  broad range of demonstrations that attendees will see on our stand underlines  the wide range of advanced applications Quectel drives with ready-to-deploy  smart modules combining cellular and edge  technologies.” 

Quectel is demonstrating a number of live  applications during the show including: 

• A visual inspection solution, designed for manufacturing  production lines and utilizing the Quectel SG865W-WF smart module powered by  Qualcomm’s QCS8250 system-on-chip, and industrial equipment including a  camera, lens and light. The solution uses edge computing to deliver the  real-time analysis needed to identify defective samples including scratches,  dirt, and abnormal surface printing on each module, screening out any  defective modules during production. By deploying this solution, Quectel has  realized industry-leading accuracy and high-speed defect detection –  improving the production efficiency and quality of our  products. 

• An edge intelligence demonstration that uses the Qualcomm  QCM6490 chipset with the Quectel smart module SG560D. The solution can detect  and recognize various objects and fully utilize the hardware acceleration on  CPU, GPU, and DSP processors. 

• Blue Frog Robotics’  Buddy, the world’s first emotional companion robot, has already captured the  affection of thousands of people around the world. Using the SC66 IoT module  from Quectel Wireless Solutions for its new Buddy PRO robot, Blue Frog  Robotics creates Robots for Good using machine vision and edge intelligence  to drive important positive impacts on social issues such as ageing  populations, inclusion of vulnerable people and education. With his unique  charm, the companion improves users’ lives by creating social links,  supporting childhood learning and watching over and taking care of elderly  people.  

• Teksun’s Tejas Care device will demonstrate how edge  computing and machine vision capabilities can provide health monitoring via  in-home cameras including temperature monitoring, heart rate monitoring, fall  detection, intruder detection, stress monitoring and much more. The Teksun  Tejas Care unit and SoMs use Quectel’s SC600T module and Quectel’s SC20  modules. These solutions are using edge computing and machine intelligence to  support a wide range of applications for Smart Cities, HealthCare Tech,  Automotive, Industry 4.0, Home Automation, and Logistics.   

Quectel’s Connectivity-as-a-Service  offering is powering all the live demonstrations at the booth at MWC 2023 and  will also be demonstrating the Quectel Connectivity Management Platform  (QCMP) and the Quectel Integrated SIM (iSIM) offering. The QCMP provides a  centralized and easy-to-use solution for managing and monitoring IoT devices  and their connections over cellular networks. The platform enables users to manage  and monitor their IoT devices, perform real-time analysis of connectivity and  network performance, and configure and update device settings  remotely.  

The Quectel iSIM brings in a new era of  flexibility and choice that is also supported by enhanced security for all  types of devices. By no longer requiring the installation of physical plastic  SIM cards and taking away the need to either install SIMs at the point of  deployment or to embed market-specific SIMs in factories, costs are reduced  and logistics simplified. 

To learn more, visit the Quectel  booth at MWC Barcelona 2023, Hall 5, Booth 5A20  where we will be demonstrating the Quectel machine vision solution with edge  capabilities.
