Fibocom MQ771-GL LPWA Module

Fibocom MQ771-GL is a high-performance, ultra-compact LPWA (Low-Power Wide-Area) wireless communication module designed specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is optimized for applications that require long battery life, small form factors, and global connectivity, such as smart pet collars, asset trackers, and smart meters.

As of early 2026, it is positioned as a leading solution for the "Pet Tech" and asset tracking industries due to its extreme power efficiency.

Fibocom MQ771-GL LPWA Module Specifications:

* Network Standards: 3GPP Release 14 Cat.M1 (LTE-M) & NB-IoT

* Form Factor: 17.7 mm × 15.8 mm (Ultra-compact LGA package)

* Power Consumption: PSM: As low as 1 μA; eDRX: Reduced by 90% vs previous gen

* Positioning: Integrated Soft GPS for precise real-time tracking

* Interfaces: UART, I2C, I2S

* Protocols: MQTT, CoAP, LwM2M

* Chipset: Based on Qualcomm's advanced LPWA platform

Core Advantages
-----------------------------------------
* Ultra-Low Power Consumption: The module is a breakthrough for battery-operated devices. With PSM (Power Saving Mode) current at just 1 μA, it allows devices like smart water meters or pet collars to operate for months or even years without a recharge.

* Global Connectivity: It supports global Cat.M and NB-IoT frequency bands with multi-mode network switching, allowing a single device to work seamlessly across different regions and carriers.

* Highly Integrated Security: It features a hardware-level security engine to ensure encrypted communication, which is critical for sensitive data like physiological health monitoring or asset locations.

* Design Flexibility: Its tiny footprint and LGA package make it easy for manufacturers to integrate into space-constrained designs, such as slim wearable devices for animals or compact industrial sensors.

Primary Use Cases
-----------------------------------------
* Smart Pet Tech: Monitoring pet health (heart rate, respiration) and location via "intelligent" collars.

* Asset Tracking: Real-time logistics tracking for international shipping containers or high-value equipment.

* Smart Metering: Remote data transmission for water, gas, and electricity meters in hard-to-reach areas.

* Healthcare Wearables: Long-term patient monitoring devices that require minimal maintenance.
