2.1. General Description
BC95 is a series of NB-IoT module which contains three variants: BC95-CM, BC95-SL and BC95-VF. It is
designed to communicate with Mobile Network Operator infrastructure equipment using the NB-IoT radio
protocol (3GPP Rel-13). The following table shows the frequency bands of BC95 series module.

The BC95 is designed to support a very large number of connected terminal devices (up to 100,000 per
cell), and it supports adaptive modulation coding and spreading schemes to enable a trade-off between
coverage and bit rate.
With a tiny profile of 19.9mm × 23.6mm × 2.2mm, the module can meet almost all the requirements for
IoT applications, including vehicles and personal tracking, security system, wireless POS, industrial PDA,
smart metering, remote maintenance & control, etc.
BC95 is an SMD type module with LCC package, which can be easily embedded into applications. It
provides abundant hardware interfaces such as ADC and UART interfaces.
Designed with power saving technique, the BC95 consumes an ultra-low current in SLEEP mode.
The module fully complies with the RoHS directive of the European Union.
