Fibocom has unveiled the MQ771-GL, a revolutionary Cat.M module that is now available for sampling. This ultra-compact and low-power solution aims to improve asset tracking on a global scale. Its capabilities promise efficient, reliable performance for IoT innovators across various industries.
MQ771-GL’s Dual-Mode Connectivity Powers Global Asset Tracking
The MQ771-GL supports both 3GPP Release 14 Cat.M1 and NB-IoT standards. This dual-mode feature provides broad compatibility with major frequency bands in North America, Europe, Asia, and many other regions. As a result, organizations can confidently deploy asset tracking devices worldwide, knowing they will enjoy stable and flexible network connectivity even in challenging environments.
Compact Design and Low Power Usage Enable Longer Device Life
A standout advantage of the MQ771-GL lies in its 17.7mm × 15.8mm LGA package. This compact size is perfect for space-constrained devices like asset trackers. Additionally, advanced power-saving features such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) cut energy consumption dramatically. In PSM, device standby current drops to microampere levels, reducing power use by 75% compared to previous models. This lets devices like smart water and gas meters operate for years without battery changes.
Advanced Interfaces and Security Drive IoT Deployment Forward
The MQ771-GL integrates support for popular IoT protocols including MQTT, CoAP, and LwM2M. Standard interfaces such as UART, I2C, and I2S enable broad compatibility with existing and new tracking platforms. With Soft GPS, the module delivers highly accurate, real-time positioning. Moreover, a built-in security engine ensures encrypted communication, safeguarding devices from unauthorized access and data breaches.
In summary, the Fibocom MQ771-GL brings advanced connectivity, efficient power management, and robust security to asset tracking. Its compact and flexible design will likely accelerate innovation in large-scale IoT deployments worldwide. As the module enters the sampling stage, it is set to power a new era for reliable and scalable device tracking solutions.
