“Adding the Quectel FCU741R, FCS950R, and HCM010S to our portfolio gives developers and designers the ability to choose the module that best fits their use case needs,” said Quectel Wireless Solutions President and CSO. says Norbert Muhrer. “The combination of low power, efficient design, compact size, and high performance makes these modules ideal for many of his IoT use cases.”
Quectel FCU741R is a high-performance Wi-Fi 4 module for wireless LAN connectivity that supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies and provides data rates up to 150 Mbps. At just 13.0mm x 12.2mm x 2.25mm, this module is designed to provide the best size and cost combination for your final product, making it ideal for size-sensitive applications. Additionally, this modular design minimizes design-in time and development effort, reducing time to market.
The module also offers an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C and a reliable USB2.0 interface. The FCU741R supports his two antenna designs: a first-generation RF coaxial connector and a pin antenna interface with surface mount technology (SMT), making the FCU741R an ideal option for its durable and robust design. Masu.
Quectel FCS950R is a Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 module that can support a wide range of commercial applications thanks to the SDIO 3.0 interface that supports low power consumption and high-speed data transmission. The module is also compact, measuring just 12.0mm x 12.0mm x 2.35mm and weighing 0.58g. FCS950R supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and delivers maximum data rates of up to 433.3Mbps in 802.11ac mode.
Like the FCU741R, the FCS950R is designed for size-constrained deployments and is suitable for rugged designs with SMT technology. The modules’ advanced packaging and laser-engraved labels provide better heat dissipation, and indelible markings enable large-scale automated manufacturing, positively impacting cost and efficiency. FCS950R also offers an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C.
Quectel also launched the Quectel HCM010S, a high-performance MCU Bluetooth module powered by an ARM Cortex M33 processor and supporting both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Bluetooth Mesh technologies. This module has built-in 64KB SRAM and 768KB Flash to ensure efficient performance. HCM010S comes in an LCC + DIP form factor with an ultra-compact size of 20.0mm x 15.6mm x 2.4mm.
Capable of operating at temperatures from -40 °C to +105 °C, Quectel HCM010S supports standard Bluetooth mesh networking and BLE to enable many-to-many communication in smart lighting, smart buildings, and smart home use cases. suitable for your device. wireless network. The module also supports up to +20dBm Tx power, providing longer transmission range and ensuring robust and reliable communication. Importantly, this module provides Secure Vault, an enhanced security option that features a higher level of IoT security.
Finally, Quectel HCM111Z stands out as a high-performance MCU Bluetooth module with a Cortex-M3 processor operating at frequencies up to 48MHz. This module supports BLE 5.3 and offers an impressive maximum data rate of 2 Mbps. This module incorporates 48 KB SRAM and 512 KB Flash to ensure efficient and reliable performance. The HCM111Z has a built-in codec that allows microphone pickup and audio playback. This feature makes it suitable for integration into smart devices such as voice-controlled remote controls, smart toy cars, sports and health gadgets, and home appliances.
HCM111Z is an ultra-compact Bluetooth module measuring only 15.0 mm x 12.0 mm x 2.25 mm. Boasting support for up to 13 GPIOs, it facilitates UART, SWD, SPI, I2C, ADC, PWM, and I2S* functionality within QuecOpen® solutions. Additionally, it features a Bluetooth low power mode, enhancing flexibility and adaptability for various applications, especially in smart home and industrial IoT scenarios.
