Quectel SC60 LTE Smart Module

Quectel SC60 is Quectel’s new generation of multi-mode Smart LTE Cat 6 module with built-in Android 7.1 Nougat OS. Based on Qualcomm Octa-core and 64-bit high-performance processors, SC60 is designed to support leading performance, rich multimedia features and Quick Charge 3.0 technology. It is ideal for both industrial and consumer applications requiring high data-rate and multimedia functions.

Quectel SC60 supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. The use of multiple antennas at the receiver end at the same time and on the same frequency band greatly minimizes errors and optimizes the data speed. The module also combines high-speed wireless connectivity with embedded multi-constellation and high-sensitivity GNSS (GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou) receiver for positioning.

A rich set of interfaces (such as LCM, Camera, Touch Panel, MIC, SPK, UART, USB, I2C, SPI) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications, including smart cash registers, tax controllers, security monitoring, on-board equipment, high-level information collection equipment, intelligent robots, smart home, intelligent hardware, intelligent industrial handhelds, intelligent industrial PADs, drones, high-level police enforcement instruments, intelligent intercom devices, smart wearables, vending machines, logistics cabinets, etc.
