SMART Modules : AI power from Quectel for Your device

In modern times, communication modules are the foundation of IoT, providing reliable connectivity between devices and the network. The market offers a variety of specialized 4G, 5G, and LPWA modules for specific tasks, yet their single-purpose nature can be limiting. To meet these challenges, Quectel has developed SMART modules, which integrate computing power, connectivity, operating system, and storage into one compact device. This is the ideal solution for modern IoT applications, enabling faster product development, reducing components, and decreasing device sizes.

The Technological Heart of SMART Modules

SMART modules are advanced computing and communication units, available in various sizes compatible pin-to-pin for different regions. They combine hardware and software, allowing flexible customization to specific user needs. Thanks to a partnership with Qualcomm Technologies Inc., Quectel's SMART modules offer advanced computing power, reliable connectivity, and a high level of security. The Edge Intelligence technology enables rapid data processing at the point of collection, reducing response times and network load. Edge Intelligence integrates artificial intelligence with edge processing, essential in modern IoT systems.

Practical Applications of SMART Modules

These modules are widely used in various sectors such as industry, retail, and automation. In industry, they allow precise resource monitoring and ensure work safety, minimizing the risk of collisions with machinery. In retail, they enable shopping cart analysis, personalization of recommendations, and enhancement of customer experiences. An example is the collaboration with Dareesoft, which uses Quectel modules in AI Road Analyzer for real-time road analysis. The SG865W model, based on the Qualcomm QCS8250 chipset, is used in Dareesoft products available in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and the United States.

Market Advantage

The versatility of SMART modules eliminates the need to design many separate functional blocks, which accelerates product development and reduces costs. This enables faster product market entry and simplifies logistical processes. These modules can be used in business analytics, industrial automation, retail, and smart operational systems. Examples of applications include market analysis and customer personalization in business analytics, quality assurance and sensor integration in industrial automation, self-service checkouts and intelligent carts in retail, predictive maintenance, energy and inventory management in operational intelligence, and worker safety and theft prevention through cameras.
