History & Milestone


The Future is IoT, We are already here

Doron ZhangGeneral Manager

Connected and communicating “Things” are everywhere and will be even more pervasive in the imminent future. Undoubtedly, the “Internet of Everything” (IoE) is one of the most substantial technology trends for 2014 and beyond. IoE involves billions of devices or “Things” connected over the Internet. These devices are all continuously generating data, sensing, creating and consuming events. All the while, they are controlled remotely. From modernizing cities through intelligent buildings and transportation, to industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, automated cars, farmlands, and industrial plants, the IoE is changing the world as we know it.


In a recent survey of global IT professionals, nearly all of them said that LTE is vital to the success of the Internet of Things. Why? Because LTE has the potential to become like “super-Wi-Fi” in that it is fast becoming universally available to connect millions of devices to the internet that have never been connected before.

LTE is much more efficient than predecessor technologies, enabling operators to reduce the cost of delivering data services below that of 3G and 2G. Since spectrum is an operator’s most precious resource, this efficiency is driving operators to aggressively deploy LTE networks so they can move subscribers off their 2G and 3G networks and

on to LTE as quickly as possible. Some countries, including USA, Japan, and Korea, have already achieved nearly 100 percent LTE coverage. This wide LTE coverage moves the industry beyond smart phones and creates a new paradigm for the creation of new machine-to-machine and consumer electronics devices.

Coupled with the increasing availability of LTE networks globally, this irreversible secular trend is creating new opportunities for Quectel to expand the machine to machine technology for the Internet of Things market. As an expert on cellular modules, Quectel expands its product portfolio to include the LTE modules.

Quectel’s new generation multi-mode LTE module, EC20 series, is adopted the 3GPP Rel. 9 LTE technology and delivers 100Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates as well as fallback compatible with Quectel UMTS/HSPA+ UC20 module in the compact and unified form factor, providing a flexible and scalable platform for migrating from UMTS/HSPA+ to LTE. EC20 contains three variants EC20-A, EC20-C and EC20-E, which makes it backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/ GPRS networks to ensure that it can connect even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.

Moreover, with a footprint matching existing 3G products, Quectel LTE module supports design simplicity by enabling one device design for multiple

networks as well as easy network migration without expensive hardware revisions. The new and simple to deploy solution enables high bandwidth computing for connected devices and lightning-fast speeds for seamless coverage when roaming across wireless networks worldwide. The particularly low latency of LTE network systems allows M2M applications to provide an unprecedented, ultra-reactive user experience and facilitates entirely new business models where real time responsiveness is required.

2015 is destined to be a year of IoT. Quectel is already here to meet the challenges.



Quectel continued fast development in 2014 especially sales growth exceeds 50% for European, Asia Pacific and American market. These great successes encouraged our strong investment in existing and emerging markets. For instance, our several types of modules have gained AT&T certification. These modules have been well received in American market and have been praised by our customers for their quality and performance. And these modules have entered American market by our European and Asian Pacific OEM customers

exporting their products into American market. This excellent partnership helped us further explore our American market. Through many years’ persistent efforts, we have made great process in automotive, security and smart metering and won big customers in these applications. In order to provide more localized support to our customers and partners and have an ear for them, we have established two overseas offices in American, respectively located in USA and Brazil.

2014 was a rich year for the cellular module portfolio. Quectel not only brought several types of 2G, 3G and 4G modules into the market and also expanded its products into Tele-health application. The introduction of Quectel UG95 UMTS/HSPA+ module, one of the smallest modules in the market, starts the era of 3G module with compact form factor and enables our existing customers to migrate from 2G to 3G quickly. The mass production of our 4G modules makes us truly penetrate into 4G market and excited about the market potential.

Focusing Purely on M2M is the Key to Success John Wang

Vice General Manager

Meanwhile, Quectel optimized its distribution system. We recruited new distributors and eliminated some unqualified distributor to avoid them bringing the negative effects on the market. Through the long-term cooperation, the partnership between Quectel and its distributors become more trusted and closer and distributors heartedly felt Quectel consistently try its best to protect their benefits. It is that makes our distributors remain strong initiative and the willing of growing with Quectel. In addition, we conducted large-scale marketing analysis and promotion according to different areas and markets and made clear marketing and sales strategy for our distributors at the different levels to help them better understand M2M application trend. Based on these analyses, our distributors can assist customers to achieve mass production in the shortest time.

2015 is destined to be a year of reform. But we are confident we can continue strong growth in the challenging times.

>>2014 experienced a revolution that was brought forth by remarkable changes in IT industry. Inevitably, changes in traditional M2M applications are fueled by the unprecedented development of global mobile internet industry from terminal positioning to mobile payment, smart metering/logistics and even mhealth. However, these changes are only the tip of the iceberg. Cloud service, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) are difficult to understand before, but at present, they have been rooted in the M2M industry and accelerated the development of global mobile internet industry. @

LTE- enabled IoT Market is on theTrack

The Internet of Things is the network formed by objects with defined identities, connected via smart interfaces and exchanging data with other objects or users. In the IoT, “things” are expected to become active participants in business, information and social processes where they are enabled to interact and communicate among themselves. M2M refers to technology for connecting machines to machines (wireless or wired) enabling them to communicate with each other. M2M is considered an integral part of the Internet of Things (IoT) and brings several benefits to industry and business in general as it has a wide range of applications such as industrial automation, logistics, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, Health, Security, etc. mostly for monitoring but also for control purposes.

At the end of 2014, the number of M2M connection is increased from 195 million to 250 million. According to the M2M Adoption Barometer 2014

Report from Vodafone, the world's 3rd-largest mobile telecommunications company, predicts the global IoT market share would hit $103million by 2018 from $44 million in 2014.

Quectel is dedicated to supply GSM/ GPRS/ UMTS/ HSPA(+)/ LTE modules, designed for long-distance data transmission. With the fast development of IoT application, we have seen more and more demands on the mini-sized modules. Quectel has introduced the currently smallest M66 GSM/GPRS modules on the market and UG95 UMTS/HSPA module with extremely compact size, ideally suitable for IoT application. M66 module is integrated Bluetooth functionality that features short-distance data transmission with low cost. In the future, we will continue to develop the higher-level integrated and richer-functional modules to meet the requirements of IoT market.

Although Long Term Evolution (LTE) seems excessive to machine-to-machine (M2M) users, it offers many benefits, including reduced operation costs and “future proofing”. A couple of factors make LTE intriguing for M2M applications. One is that its spectral efficiency and other attributes reduce the operator’s cost of delivering service below that of incumbent technologies such as GPRS, CDMA2000 1X and UMTS. Further, some users are considering LTE as the future-proof option, especially those whose devices need to remain in the field for five, 10 or 15 years. For them, paying a premium for LTE hardware could be less expensive than replacing 2.5G modules when operators shut down those networks. M2M adoption of LTE won’t begin to ramp up sharply until 2015. Operators, vendors and 3GPP are looking for ways to slash LTE’s hardware premium to spur M2M adoption.

At the beginning of 2015, we unveiled our first Multi-mode LTE module EC20 . Adopted the 3GPP

Rel. 9 LTE technology, it delivers 100Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates and is fallback compatible with Quectel UMTS/HSPA+UC20 module in the compact and unified form factor, providing a flexible and scalable platform for migrating from UMTS/HSPA+ to LTE. As M2M communications typically require low levels of data on an occasional basis, low power, and low cost, the complexity of LTE meant that it was not viable for many M2M communications applications. Now that LTE Category 0 (Cat-0) has been incorporated into the 3GPP standards the possibility of using LTE as a main bearer for M2M communications has come a step nearer. Quectel will invest more to define a new profile of LTE in the forthcoming Release 12 specification. The profile is termed ‘Category 0’ (Cat-0) and promises to address the major challenges facing operators and smart meter manufacturers. >>

With the popularization of intelligent mobile terminal, the Internet of Things (IoT) caught the public’s imagination and machine-to-machine technology moved into the mainstream. People expect to experience convenient life relying on IoT and M2M technology.

LTE has been developed explosively all over the world. Smartphone, tablet and data card have taken the lead to use LTE technology on consumer applications, which surprisingly stays ahead of traditional Apps. In addition, a plenty of IOT applications have sprung up including traditional M2M. More and more commercial applications have been innovated by taking advantage of LTE high data rate, there are many examples: vending machine monitoring with video commercial display, retail terminals displaying product demonstrations or live helpdesk, remote wireless surveillance cameras, telehealth terminals providing remote diagnosis and healthcare, facial recognition systems used in homeland security, and wireless router for in-car infotainment systems.

For instance, the LTE connected car market is continuing to evolve, which offers a range of infotainment options. This service will let users


LTE is destined to be the future of all cellular networks and the last network standing as 2G and 3G networks are eventually phased out. Successful operators have generally shifted away from traditional voice & text packages to focus on data, and from unlimited data to data sharing, with simplified data packages. They already consider LTE as the natural choice for long term service applications, especially for the IOT application. LTE provides good network foundation for IOT, while the abundant applications brought by IOT accelerate the sustainable development of LTE, the relationship between the two is becoming closer and closer.

LTE-The RevolutionaryTechnology of IoT


4G LTE has become the fast growing standard in the history of telecommunication. Although the different LTE frequencies and bands used in different countries will mean that only multi-band wireless terminals will be able to use LTE in all countries where it is supported, 644 operators in 181 countries are investing in LTE, while 393 commercially launched LTE networks in 181 countries (APR, 2015). LTE is the fastest developing mobile system technology ever.

Driving for the evolution of wireless broadband technology is the increasing expectations for speed, bandwidth and global access. The primary drive towards LTE for operators is the need for more capacity, performance management and improved efficiencies to lower delivery cost. LTE is the next step in the user experience. Specific M2M applications will be either created or enhanced to take advantage of the available bandwidth. So far,

access real-time news, weather and fuel prices. In addition, it will let drivers connect to Google Earth and Google Voice. Facebook and Twitter will support a text-to-speech function and a status function with prepared text modules for the system. Meanwhile, we have received the request from some of our Smart Meter customers for LTE technology and the request for long lifecycle of our modules and network available for up to 10 years as well. In addition to human-to-human applications, LTE also creates new opportunities for improved human-to-machine and machine-to-machine applications interactions and communications. Examples of high-bandwidth applications include mobile routers, remote surveillance system, facial recognition system, signal signage, vending, point-of-sales and telehealth terminals.

However, challenges in terms of cost, subscriber attraction, brand awareness and product management and innovations impede the development of LTE terminals, which is the inevitable phenomenon of the new technology in its early days. We believe that with the continuous improvement of multi-mode LTE/3G solution and complement of standalone LTE solution, LTE terminals will come into the market quickly.

The development of LTE technology and standard presents two opposite trends, one is tending to CAT6/ CAT7/ CAT9/ CAT10 or higher standard of high speed applications, which is collectively called

LTE-A. It emphasizes user experience, hardware performance promotion, multimedia application extension and multiple interactive services evolution at extreme data rate, typically smartphone, Tablet, video surveillance and wireless mutilmedia terminals; the other turns to traditional M2M application and low speed CAT1/ CAT0/ CATM standard of IOT, which is eventually evolved to LTE-M. It highlights low speed, low power, long lifecycle, low cost, strong signal cover and anti-jamming capability, represented by AMI, object tracking and environment monitoring.

Up to now, Quectel has released EC20 LTE series modules based on Qualcomm platform, including EC20-E (support European FDD-LTE/ WCDMA/ GSM band), EC20-A (support American FDD-LTE/ WCDMA/ GSM band, and 5-mode/ 13-band EC20-C (China FDD-LTE/ TDD-LTE/ TD-SCDMA/ WCDMA/ GSM band). Moreover, Quectel 4G+WIFI integrated solution will come into the market soon. Quectel’s strategy is to design the LTE modules which give customers the ability to embed support for the latest mobile broadband technology in a variety of connected devices and give our customers an even faster or real long lifetime mobile Internet experience with 4G LTE technology.

EC20 Mini PCIe51.0 × 30.0 × 4.9mm

EC20 Mini PCIe adopts the standard PCI Express® MiniCard form factor (miniPCIe) and provides global network coverage on the connectivity of LTE. It delivers 50Mbps-up and100Mbps-down data rates on LTE FDD networks and can also be fully backward compatible with existing UMTS and GSM/GPRS networks. It contains two variants EC20 Mini PCIe-A and EC20 Mini PCIe-E, which makes it backward-compatible with existing EDGE and GSM/ GPRS networks to ensure that it can connect even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.

EC20 Mini PCIe supports Rx diversity which allows the end-device to be equipped with two distinct cellular antennas improving the quality and reliability of the wireless connectivity. Leveraging the Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, its antennas at each end of the communications circuit are combined to minimize errors and optimize data speed. It also combines high-speed wireless connectivity with embedded multi-constellation high-sensitivity positioning GPS+GLONASS receiver.

L20 is a GPS receiver module with the highest performance which embeds the SIRFstarIVTM chip solution with the new ROM2.2 version. With 48 PRN channels, L20 acquires and tracks satellites in the shortest time even at indoor signal level. With a compact profile of 16.0 x 12.2 x 2.4mm, it perfectly suits for vehicle tracking, personal tracking, asset tracking, connected PND, security device and other industrial applications.

L20 supports aided-GPS function without the necessity of data download from server since it captures ephemeris data from satellites locally and predicts ephemeris out to 3 days.

The moudle contains an active jammer remover which tracks and removes up to 8 CW (Carrier Wave) type signals up to 80dB-HZ(equals to –90 dBm typ.) signal level. This feature has greatly improved the navigation performance.

L20 also provides an important function which named GPIO Baud Rate Detection. With GPIO settings, L20 can be configured to output NEMA at standard baud rates.

L26 is a single receiver module integrated with GLONASS and GPS system. It provides simultaneous GPS and Compass GLONASS openservice L1 reception capability. With 33 tracking channels, 99 acquisition channels and 210 PRN channels, L26 can acquire and track any mix of GPS and GLONASS signals.

Compared with using GPS only, enabling both GPS and GLONASS generally doubles the number of visible satellites, reduces the time to first fix and increases positioning accuracy, especially when driving in rough urban environments.

Combining advanced AGPS called EASY™ (Embedded Assist System) with proven AlwaysLocate™ technology, L26 achieves the highestperformance and fully meets the industrial standard. Additional feature of embedded logger function called LOCUS allows L26 to log position information to internal flash memory at default intervals of 15 seconds and provide typically more than 16 hours log capacity without adding cost.

L26 supports built-in short circuit protection for active antenna and an active antenna supervisor for short and open circuit detection.

Its super performance makes L26 ideal for automotive, industrial PDA, consumer and industry applications. Extremely low power consumption of L26 also makes it easier to be applied to power sensitive devices, especially portable applications.

Users can choose QuecLocator function when they need Location Base Service.QuecLocator is an assisted positioning system beside GNSS. When devices are in some challenging signal environments, such as indoors or GNSS signal is not available, QuecLocator can provide position information in these situations.

QuecLocator also can be a cost down solution for some specific application. When an estimated position is enough, a GNSS module can be retrenched.

When using QuecLocator function, user only need to send one AT command. When Quectel 2G/3G module receives the AT command, it will send the cells information of base station to Quectel’s cloud server. The server will check its database to get the location information of the cellular base station and send it back to the devices.

QuecLocatoreCall is a European initiative intended to bring rapid assistance to motorists involved in a collision anywhere in the European Union. It combines cellular and GPS technology for emergency service. In case of emergency, the in-vehicle eCall system (IVS) automatically initiates an emergency call carrying both voice and data (including GPS location data) directly to the public safety access point to determine whether rescue services should be dispatched to the known position.

The EU is aiming to have a fully functional eCall service to be in place throughout the EU by 2015. The project is also supported by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA). Some car makers such as BMW, PSA and Volvo Cars have already integrated eCall function into their products.

In Russia, a fully interoperable system called ERA-GLONASS is being deployed, with the aim to require an eCall terminal and a GPS/GLONASS receiver in new vehicles.

Quectel 2G/3GModule

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely used because of its accurate and stable positioning capability. But it is not always possible in some challenging signal environments, such as when receiver works indoors, under the elevated bridge or GNSS signal is influenced by jamming.

At present, cellular networks are widely available, covering a large geographic area, which enables QuecLocator service to estimate the position on the basis of surrounding mobile network information easily. The service can be supported where 2G/3G network coverage is available.

test. The module has the ability to act as In-vehicle System and also to simulate the Public Safety Answering Point. Thus, eCall testing can be easily performed by preparing two Quectel modules in the circumstance without access to a real PSAP.

After an emergency voice call has been (automatically or manually) established, the IVS modem receiver constantly monitors the incoming signal from the speech decoder output. When prompted by a request from the PSAP operator for MSD, the IVS connects the IVS data modem transmitter to the input of the speech coder and mutes any speech from the motorist for the duration of MSD transmission to prevent it from interfering with the eCall data transmission. Alternatively, it can be the IVS that may trigger the MSD transmission. In this case, the IVS asks the PSAP to request an MSD transmission.

The first operation mode shall be referred to as the pull mode whereas the latter one is the push mode. Essentially, push mode is realized by a request from the IVS to the PSAP to pull the MSD.

2. Put the package on FTP server(User’s server)

1. User visit web tool and get

delta firmware package

The users only need to download a delta upgrade package from the server instead of the whole part of firmware package to the modules. The delta upgrade package is a differential part between current firmware and target firmware, so it is very small. It helps the device to get the upgrade package in the field quickly over WCDMA/LTE network of the mobile operator.

Step 1: Get the delta firmware package from Quectel.Before upgrading the device, user needs to check the current firmware (the old one) by executing AT command “ATI”. The user also needs to know the target firmware (the new one) which needs to be upgraded. Quectel provides a delta package tools. The user puts the current firmware and the target firmware into following page then it will create a delta firmware package for upgrade.

Step 2: Put the delta firmware on FTP server.When using the DFOTA function, user needs to setup a FTP/HTTP server by himself, for Quectel does not provide a FTP/HTTP server. Then put the delta package on the server, and record the

FTP/HTTP path. The module will get the delta package from this path.

Step 3: Execute AT command “AT+QFOTADL”.After putting the delta firmware package on a FTP/HTTP server, the user needs to execute AT command “AT+QFOTADL”, then the module will download the firmware from FTP/HTTP server over the air and upgrade automatically. Please refer to figure below.

By using DFOTA, the users only need to download the delta package into the module, which contains only the differences between the old and new firmware versions, thus reducing the amount of data transmitted and accelerating the speed of firmware upgrade.

Some of Quectel Modules open its internal source for users to develop their applications. This function is called OpenCPU™. Based on it, users can create innovative application and download it directly into Quectel module to run. In the OpenCPU solution, GSM/GPRS module acts as a main processor. So, GSM/GPRS module with OpenCPU solution will facilitate product design and accelerate the application development. And it also can save the cost of the product.

The core system of OpenCPU is released by Quectel, which includes the core binary file and library file. Quectel also provide Software interfaces to licensed embedded application developers. It includes audio API, FCM API, system API, Peripheral API, timer API, and debug API, standard C library API, and so on. Users can develop their applications with those API on Quectel’s modules.

Compared with traditional solution, OpenCPU solution can make hardware design easier for the developer. The figure below shows the differences between them.

Traditional Solution

OpenCPU Solution

System software of OpenCPU consists of 3 layers: Core system, User API and Application.

The following block diagram shows the software architecture of M85 OpenCPU.

OpenCPU™

Core System is a combination of hardware and system software of GSM/GPRS module. It has a built-in ARM processor, and has been built over Nucleus operating system, which has the characteristics of micro-kernel, real-time, multi-tasking and etc.

OpenCPU RIL, an open source layer, is embedded into User API layer. With OpenCPU RIL, developer can simply call API to send AT commands and get the response when API returns.

AT commands related to SMS and telephone are packed to the RIL APIs by default. Besides, developer can also easily add a new API to implement an AT Command according to the open source of RIL.

Quectel modules also support some enhanced features under OpenCPU. Such as Jamming Detection, TCP/IP protocols, eCall/Era-Glonass, QuecFOTA, QuecLocator, Audio Playback/ Audio Recording, QuecFile, POP3 and SMTP, etc. OpenCPU software also has steady flash protected mechanism.

Normally, Quectel provides a set of OpenCPU SDK for development.

Radio Interface Layer (RIL) is a software layer which provides an interface between operating system (Android/ WinCE) and radio hardware.

After user installed and configured the RIL driver successfully, SMS, voice call, data service functions can be used in the operating system.

Quectel 2G/3G module support RIL driver for Android and WinCE OS. The picture below is RIL driver structure for Android OS. And RIL driver for WinCE is similar with Android OS.

The RIL in Android locates between Kernel and Application Framework. It is divided into two parts, one is RILD and the other is Vendor RIL. RILD is responsible for the communication between Socket and Application Framework. Vendor RIL is responsible for communication with Radio via AT command channel and Packet data channel (PDCH). AT command channel is used for communicating with Radio directly and PDCH used for data service.

The RIL module is used to communicate with the vendor RILD. The Phone module directly provides phone function interfaces to application user who can call them to realize the phone functions.

RIL

RIL driver for WinCE system transforms the RIL request from application layer into AT commands, and then sends them to module. It needs to enable some system components under the options of kernel, before using RIL driver in customer’s system board.

The software packet of Quectel modules provides USB driver and RIL driver for WinCE6.0 and provides the design guide for driver installation step by step. RIL driver can transform the RIL request from application layer into AT commands, and then send them to module after it is installed successfully.
