I believe these two modules will set new benchmarks in the short-range wireless connectivity field and open up new possibilities for various industry applications.”

 

High Speed, Low Latency, and Stable Multiple Connections

 

In terms of the network connection speed, which is the most concerning aspect for the market, both of these modules perform excellently. Quectel FGE576Q boasts a data transmission rate of up to 3.6 Gbps and supports dual-band concurrency with 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz + 6 GHz, while Quectel FGE573Q provides speeds of up to 2.9 Gbps. Both products achieve high throughput and low latency, bringing a qualitative leap in data transmission rates. With outstanding communication performance and reliability, the FGE576Q and FGE573Q Wi-Fi 7 modules will provide unprecedented smooth experiences for users in emerging scenarios such as ultra-high-definition streaming, online gaming, augmented reality, and virtual reality.

 

It is worth mentioning that both of these Wi-Fi modules utilize MLO (Multi-Link Operation) functionality. Through this feature, routers can utilize multiple wireless bands and channels concurrently when connected to Wi-Fi 7 clients, resulting in greater throughput and lower latency.

 

In addition to their excellent performance in network speed, these two modules also achieve the best coexistence state between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, integrating dual Bluetooth with a maximum speed of 2 Mbps and supporting low-power audio and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionalities.

 

Currently, with outstanding data transmission rates, ultra-low latency, and higher network reliability, Quectel FGE576Q and FGE573Q have become the ideal solutions for various applications such as cloud gaming, 8K ultra-high-definition streaming, AR/VR, industrial IoT, and remote healthcare

 

 

 

 

Quectel Released New WiFi 7 & Bluetooth 5.4 Modules

On February 26th, during the MWC 2024 exhibition, leading global Internet of Things (IoT) solutions provider Quectel officially announced the launch of its new Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 combo module, the NCM8x5 series. This series of products is specifically designed for wireless connectivity in personal computers (PCs), offering advantages such as low latency and ultra-high speed to meet the demands of PC terminal applications requiring Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity technology.

 

The released module includes five models: NCM825, NCM825A, NCM835, NCM865, and NCM865A. All these models support mainstream high-performance processor platforms such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite platform, as well as Intel and AMD’s x86 platforms.

 

 

Low latency, high throughput, and outstanding core performance characterize the Quectel NCM8x5 series modules. These modules adopt the Qualcomm FastConnect™ 7800 solution, supporting 2×2 MIMO and dual-band concurrent (DBS) technology, enabling PC terminals to simultaneously connect to multiple frequency bands such as 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz. Additionally, the NCM865 and NCM865A models utilize High Band Concurrent (HBS) multi-connection technology, reducing interference within the high-frequency spectrum to enhance wireless communication. This improvement helps utilize bandwidth more effectively, reduce signal latency, increase data throughput, and meet the demand for low-latency, high-throughput wireless connections in various industries.

 

Furthermore, the entire series supports MLO (Multi-Link Operation) functionality, enabling routers to utilize multiple wireless frequency bands and channels to connect to Wi-Fi 7 clients simultaneously, achieving faster data rates, lower latency, and higher network reliability for users.

 

 

Simultaneously, the NCM825, NCM825A, NCM835, NCM865, and NCM865A Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 combo modules support 4K-QAM and 320 MHz bandwidth, achieving a maximum data rate of 5.8 Gbps. This capability satisfies the requirements of terminals like laptops, ensuring ultra-low latency and real-time responsiveness.

 

 

In addition to excellent Wi-Fi connectivity, this series integrates features such as dual-mode Bluetooth, 2Mbps Low Energy Bluetooth (BLE), low-power (LE) audio, and long-range transmission for low-power Bluetooth.

 

 

Ensuring a comprehensive and compatible package for diverse applications, the series provides flexible size options. For instance, the Quectel NCM825 series has dimensions of 16.0mm x 20.0mm x 1.80mm, suitable for slim and compact laptops, while the NCM865 series, with dimensions of 22.0mm x 30.0mm x 2.25mm, better meets the needs of versatile laptops.

Moreover, all sub-models of the NCM8x5 series have obtained certifications from regulatory authorities worldwide, including China’s SRRC approval, EU CE, UK UKCA, North America FCC/IC, Australia RCM, South Korea KC, and Japan JATE/Telec certification.

 

 

Regarding the introduction of multiple high-performance Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 modules, Quectel’s COO Zhang Dong stated, “In response to the current demand in the PC market for high-performance, efficient, and secure wireless connections, Quectel has added several Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 modules to its module portfolio.
