BG95 in Quectel Cellular Modules Family
The BG95 series by Quectel is a collection of multi-mode LPWA modules supporting LTE Cat M1, Cat NB2, and EGPRS. Based on the Qualcomm MDM9205 platform, these modules are designed for global connectivity in ultra-low-power applications. They integrate an optional GNSS engine and support comprehensive Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces, and drivers for multiple operating systems, making them a standard choice for battery-operated IoT deployments requiring long lifecycles and global compatibility.
The BG95 series includes several variants tailored for specific regional and functional requirements. Key differences include the presence of 2G (EGPRS) fallback, varying levels of GNSS integration, and different maximum data rates. For example, the BG95-M3 offers global bands and EGPRS, while the BG95-M5 adds support for 450MHz bands. Some variants are specifically cost-optimized by removing GNSS or limiting the number of supported RF bands.
