Quectel BG600L-M3 Cat M1/NB2/EGPRS

Overview

The BG600L-M3 is a multi-mode LPWA module which supports LTE Cat M1/Cat NB2/EGPRS and integrated GNSS, and which meets the 3GPP Release 14 specification. It is compatible with Quectel’s GSM/GPRS/GNSS module MC60, providing customers with a convenient solution for network migration.  The BG600L-M3 achieves maximum downlink rates of 588Kbps and uplink rates of 1119Kbps under LTE Cat M1. The module’s integrated RAM and flash memory enable ultra-low power consumption, and the ARM Cortex A7 processor (which supports ThreadX) enables up to 70% reduction in PSM leakage and 85% reduction in eDRX current consumption compared to its predecessor.

The BG600L-M3’s highly integrated, cost-effective and compact SMT form factor of 18.7mm × 16.0mm × 2.1mm allows integrators and developers to benefit from its mechanical intensity and low power consumption and design their applications with ease, and its advanced package enables fully automated manufacturing for high-volume applications.  A rich set of internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/PCM/STATUS) and abundant functionalities (e.g. USB drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux and Android, etc.) allow the module to serve a wide range of IoT applications such as tracking, wireless POS, smart metering and wearable devices.
