Overview
The BC680Z-EU is a high-performance LTE Cat NB2 module which supports multiple frequency bands of B3*/ 5/ 8/ 20/ 28 with extremely low power consumption. With an ultra-compact form factor of 17.7 mm × 15.8 mm × 2.2 mm, it is a perfect choice for size-sensitive applications, helping to reduce product size and optimize cost. Designed to be compatible with Quectel’s NB-IoT BC68 series module in form and size, it helps customers to facilitate designing and upgrading products more rapidly and flexibly.
Designed in an LCC form factor, BC680Z-EU can achieve rapid production through standard SMT equipment and provide customers with reliable connection methods. It is especially suitable for automated, large-scale, low-cost modern production methods. SMT technology also makes BC680Z-EU highly reliable to meet application requirements in complex environments.
The module also combines high-speed wireless connectivity with embedded multi-constellation and high-sensitivity GNSS (GPS/ BDS/ GLONASS/ Galileo) receiver for positioning while greatly simplifying product design. Due to its compact form factor, ultra-low power consumption and extended temperature range, BC680Z-EU is one of the best choices for a wide range of IoT applications, such as smoke detectors, wireless meter reading, bike sharing, smart parking, smart city, smart safety and asset tracking, smart home appliances, wearable devices, agricultural and environmental monitoring, etc. It can provide a complete range of SMS and data transmission services to meet different demands.
