Quectel SC200E multi-mode Smart LTE Cat 4 modules

Quectel Wireless Solutions has launched the SC200E series of multi-mode Smart LTE Cat 4 modules. The series delivers high performance in LTE connectivity, multimedia functions and support for long lifespan IoT deployments, making it suitable for industrial and consumer applications including smart POS, payment terminals, industrial handheld devices, automotive electronics and more.

Based on the Qualcomm QCM2290 platform which uses an 11 nm process, Quectel’s SC200E series adopts a 64-bit quadcore Arm Cortex-A53 processor at up to 2.0 GHz frequency, which enables the module to provide both greater power efficiency and performance. Equipped with an Adreno 702 GPU, the module also supports a dual Image Signal Processor (ISP). This ISP enables up to 25 MP or 13 MP + 13 MP dual cameras to work at the same time and 1080p@30fps video codec capability. Given these features, the series is a suitable option for IoT verticals that require advanced multimedia features such as smart POS terminals, industrial PDAs as well as systems in micro-mobility applications.

The series has the Android 12 operating system (OS) built in and supports future iterative upgrades to Android 13 or 14, which enables IoT devices to stay up to date with features and improvements in the OS. The series fully meets Google’s GMS licence requirements. The extended lifecycle means the series can meet the high reliability and sustainable upgrades requirements of industrial IoT devices through to 2028. The series supports multimode LTE cellular networks, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so terminal devices can access wireless networks according to different scenarios. The series also supports multi-constellation receives (such as GPS, BDS, GLONASS, QZSS and SBAS) for accurate positioning.

The series integrates interfaces such as LCM, camera, touch screen, microphone, USB and UART, thereby expanding its applications in retail, industrial, home and other fields. The series provides multiple variants, including SC200E-EM for EMEA, Korea, South Asia, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, along with SC200E-WF for global regions (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only), all of which have achieved mass production.
