Quectel’s CC200A-LB satellite communication module has achieved CE, FCC, IC and RCM certifications.

This confirms its compliance with satellite network standards across Europe, North America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

With a focus on cost-effectiveness and low latency, the module delivers a reliable and uninterrupted global network connection. This makes it suitable for applications such as maritime, transportation, heavy equipment, agriculture, mining, oil and gas monitoring and other scenarios where cellular networks may be limited.

“We are thrilled to see the global approval of our satellite communication module,” said Norbert Muhrer, president of Quectel Wireless. “Its capability in delivering uninterrupted network coverage ensures continuous and cost-effective communication for managing remote and mobile assets anytime, anywhere.”

The CC200A-LB incorporates satellite IoT connectivity offered by Orbcomm, using the L-band of the Inmarsat GEO constellation. It features two-way communication, low latency and global coverage. When paired with cellular modules, it enables distinctive dual-mode IoT applications, providing reliability, redundancy and ubiquitous coverage. In scenarios with inadequate or disrupted cellular network coverage, IoT devices can seamlessly sustain communication through satellite connections.

The module is designed with a streamlined LCC+LGA package, measuring 37 by 38 by 3.35mm. Equipped with multi-constellation GNSS positioning, it can identify the device’s location quickly and precisely. Its user-friendly AT command set facilitates configuration and management.

The module can be purchased in isolation or with the appropriate Quectel antenna to help accelerate the time-to-market of user devices.

Apart from the CC200A-LB, Quectel has diversified its portfolio by introducing a range of satellite communication modules. Among them, the CC660D-LS is compliant with 3GPP NTN R17 standards and features two-way communication, support for multiple frequency bands, low latency and low power consumption. The BG95-S5 and BG770A-SN modules support satellite and cellular networks, providing ubiquitous coverage for IoT applications.
