LPWA Cellular Module with GNSS and Integrated Memory

Overview

The BG77xA-GL is a series of LPWA modules with an SMT form factor of 14.9mm × 12.9mm × 1.9mm and integrated GNSS engine, which supports LTE Cat M1 and LTE Cat NB1/NB2 bands. The module is fully compliant with the 3GPP Rel-14 specification and provides global carrier band combinations. It features the MIPS 5150 processor and ultra-low power consumption by leveraging the integrated RAM and flash to achieve extremely low current consumption in various standby/hibernation modes, including 3GPP PSM and e-I-DRX. In addition, the BG77xA-GL contains a GNSS and cellular-based location engine that supports GPS and GLONASS.

The BG77xA-GL boasts a comprehensive hardware based security feature - Integrated Security Elements (ISE). The ultra-compact form factor and high integration level of the module enables integrators and developers to easily design their applications and take advantage of low-power consumption and mechanical intensity. The BG77xA-GL’s advanced LGA package allows for fully automated manufacturing required for high-volume applications.

A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant functionalities extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of IoT applications, such as wireless POS, smart metering, tracking, wearable devices, and many more.
