BG96MC-MINIPCIE
Overview
The BG96MC-MINIPCIE is a Quectel cellular modem module in an mPCIe form factor. It is intended for low-power wide-area cellular designs that use Cat M1 and Cat NB2 networks. Engineers typically use it to add cellular connectivity to embedded systems without designing an RF modem from scratch.
Why Choose This Part
The BG96MC-MINIPCIE is useful when you want a ready-made cellular radio subsystem in a standard mPCIe footprint. That can simplify mechanical integration and shorten RF bring-up compared with a discrete cellular design. It is also a practical fit for low-data-rate IoT products that need wide-area coverage with modest power consumption.
Applications
Getting Started
Start by checking Quectel's hardware design and AT command documentation for the BG96 family, then confirm your host interface requirements and antenna strategy. Typical integration work includes SIM handling, power sequencing, serial/USB communication setup, and network certification planning. For firmware development and bring-up, use a host platform that can send AT commands over the module's supported interface and verify registration, data session setup, and antenna performance early in the design.
