Build a Smarter World Quectel BG96 LTE Cat M1 & Cat NB1 & EGPRS Module Qualcomm MDM9206 BG96 is a series of LTE Cat M1/Cat NB1/EGPRS module offering a maximum data rate of 300Kbps downlink and 375Kbps uplink. It features ultra-low power consumption, and provides pin-to-pin compatibility with Quectel LTE module EG91/EG95, Cat NB1 (NB-IoT) module BC95, UMTS/HSPA module UG95/UG96 and GSM/GPRS module M95. With a cost-effective SMT form factor of 26.5mm x 22.5mm x 2.3mm and high integration level, BG96 enables integrators and developers to easily design their applications and take advantage from the module's low power consumption and mechanical intensity. Its advanced LGA package allows fully automated manufacturing for high-volume applications. A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces (USB/UART/I2C/Status Indicator) and abundant functionalities (USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Linux and Android) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applications such as wireless POS, smart metering, tracking, etc. Key Benefits LTE Cat M1/Cat NB1/EGPRS module with ultra-low power consumption Compact SMT form factor ideal for size-constrained applications with LTE Cat M1 & Cat NB1 & EGPRS LGA Package Compact Size Embedded Abundant Protocols DFOTA USB 2.0 High Speed Interface USB Drivers Quectel Enhanced AT Commands tight space Easy migration from Quectel GSM/GPRS, UMTS/HSPA and LTE modules Super slim profile in LGA package Fast time-to-market: reference designs, evaluation tools and timely technical support minimize design-in time and development efforts Robust mounting and interfaces Rev.: V1.4 | Status: Released EMAIL US: info@quectel.com VISIT US: www.quectel.com 26.5 mm Quectel BG96 LTE Cat M1 & Cat NB1 & EGPRS Module 2.3mm 22.5mm Variants for the Global Enhanced Features Software Features BG96 GNSS (Optional): USB Serial Driver: Cat M1/Cat NB1: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass, Galileo, QZSS Windows XP, Windows Vista, LTE FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B18/ Firmware Upgrade: Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Windows CE 5.0/6.0/7.0, B19/B20/B26/B28 via USB interface Linux 2.6/3.x/4.1, Android 4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x LTE TDD: B39 (For Cat M1 Only) DFOTA: RIL Driver: Android 4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x EGPRS: Delta Firmware Upgrade Over the Air NDIS Driver: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 850/900/1800/1900MHz Processor: ECM Driver*: Linux 2.6/3.x/4.1 ARM A7 Processor, with 3MB Flash and 3MB Gobinet Driver: Linux 2.6/3.x/4.1 RAM Available for Users QMI_WWAN Driver: Linux 3.x(3.4 or later)/4.1 Data Cat M1: Protocols: Max. 300Kbps (DL), Max. 375Kbps (UL) Electrical Characteristics PPP/TCP/UDP/SSL/TLS/FTP(S)/HTTP(S)/NITZ/ Cat NB1: Output Power: PING/MQTT Max. 32Kbps (DL), Max. 70Kbps (UL) Max.
