Smart IoT Modules
Smart IoT modules bring together previously separate functionalities - for instance computing, graphics processing, data storage and connectivity - into single, highly compact pieces of hardware.
The ability to perform such various tasks in a single module removes the need to specify and develop multiple function-specific modules, and then ensure they can be integrated into a unified product; smart modules are therefore a key way for solution builders to simplify designs, reduce size, remove technical limitations, limit costs and accelerate time-to-market. They are in short the cutting edge of integrated hardware in the world of IoT technologies.
Smart modules can support a rich set of peripheral components - such as cameras, LCMs, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, memory and SD cards, eSIM and embedded universal integrated circuit cards (eUICC). They offer a wide choice of interfaces such as USB2.0/3.0, USB type-C, I2C, UART, GPIOs, and support PWM and ADCs. Smart modules also have integrated operating systems - often with a choice of Linux for applications in industrial IoT, or Android for commercial solutions - as well as device drivers and associated SDKs. Quectel offers a comprehensive range of smart modules, with extensive product families of variants to support deployment regions and a range of interfaces and connection options - to find out more you can browse our webshop from the links below.
