BG95 is a series of multi-mode LPWA modules supporting LTE Cat M1/Cat NB2/EGPRS and integrated GNSS.It is 3GPP Rel-14
compliant and offers maximum data rates of 588 kbps downlink and 1119 kbps uplink under LTE Cat M1. It features ultra-low
power consumption by leveraging the integrated RAM/flash as well as the ARM Cortex A7 processor supporting ThreadX,
achieving up to 70% reduction in PSM leakage and 85% reduction in eDRX current consumption compared to its predecessor.
BG95 boasts a comprehensive set of hardware-based security features and enables trusted applications to run directly on the
Cortex A7 TrustZone engine. Additionally, BG95 provides pin-to-pin compatibility with Quectel LTE Cat 4 modules EG91/EG95,
LTE Cat M1/Cat NB1/EGPRS module BG96, NB-IoT module BC95, UMTS/HSPA modules UG95/UG96 and GSM/GPRS module
M95.
With a cost-effective SMT form factor of 23.6 mm × 19.9 mm × 2.2 mm and high integration level, BG95 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 and abundant functions extend the applicability of the module to a wide
range of M2M applications such as wireless POS, smart metering, tracking, wearable devices, etc.
