LTE Module Series
BG96 Hardware Design
BG96_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 15 / 71
UART3 is the default configuration when the module is used as a modem.
In this case, it is used for outputting GNSS data or NEMA sentences.
When the module is used as the core board, the port can be multiplexed
into SPI* interface for data transferring.
AT Commands
3GPP TS 27.007 and 3GPP TS 27.005 AT commands, as well as
Quectel enhanced AT commands
Network Indication
One NETLIGHT pin for network connectivity status indication
Antenna Interfaces
Including main antenna (ANT_MAIN) and GNSS antenna (ANT_GNSS)
interfaces
Physical Characteristics
Size: 22.5mm × 26.5mm × 2.3mm
Weight: approx. 3.1g
Temperature Range
Operation temperature range: -35°C ~ +75°C
1)
Extended temperature range: -40°C ~ +85°C
2)
Firmware Upgrade
USB interface and DFOTA*
RoHS
All hardware components are fully compliant with EU RoHS directive
1. “*” means under development.
2.
1)
Within operation temperature range, the module is 3GPP compliant.
3.
2)
Within extended temperature range, the module remains the ability to establish and maintain a
voice, SMS, data transmission, emergency call, etc. There is no unrecoverable malfunction. There
are also no effects on radio spectrum and no harm to radio network. Only one or more parameters like
P
out
might reduce in their value and exceed the specified tolerances. When the temperature returns to
the normal operating temperature levels, the module will meet 3GPP specifications again.
