LTE Cat 4 module runs under Linux OS

The SC696S multimode LTE Cat 4 module from Quectel empowers a wide array of applications with its built-in Linux OS and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. It also supports 1×1 MIMO technology for IoT connectivity and includes a multi-constellation GNSS receiver for accurate fixes in any environment.

Processing power for the SC696S smart module is derived from a Qualcomm QCM6125 SoC with a 64-bit octa-core Kryo 260 CPU and Adreno 610 graphics processing unit. The device offers worldwide LTE, UMTS/HSPA+, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage. Onboard interfaces include LCM, camera, touch panel, UART, USB, I2C, I2S, and SPI interfaces. It also accommodates a maximum of six cameras, two of which can work concurrently.

The SC696S operates over a temperature range of -35°C to +75°C, enabling deployment in challenging environments. Applications for the SC696S range from smart home devices and wearables to industrial equipment, robots, and point-of-sale devices.

Housed in a 43×44×2.85 LCC+LGA package, the SC696S LTE Cat 4 module is offered in three variants: SC696S-EM, SC696S-NA, and SC696S-WF (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth only). It is sold through Quectel’s distributor network.
