Multimode LPWA module for Qualcomm 9205 chipset

     New generation multi-mode LPWA modules BG35 and BG17 from Qualcomm 9205 LTE modem. As one of the world's first communication module suppliers scheduled to deliver the new chip platform, Yuanyuan will help customers commercialize iot solutions faster and more efficiently.

     BG35 is a series of multi-mode modules that integrate Cat M1, Cat NB2 and EGPRS as well as GNSS positioning technology, fully compliant with 3GPP R14 specification. BG35 is packaged in the same way as its predecessor BG36 and is fully compatible with the software API, so it can help smooth the transition for customers who have successfully deployed iot solutions with BG36. In the future, Yuanyuan will continue to supply customers with the previous generation BG36 modules and continue to provide corresponding technical support.

     Qualcomm will also build an ultra-compact BG17 module based on the chip, which supports Cat M1, Cat NB2 technology and integrated GNSS functionality, and is approximately 14mm x 15mm in size for smaller form elements such as wearables.

     The BG35 features an integrated ARM Cortex A7 processor that supports the ThreadX real-time operating system, while its ample RAM and flash memory will greatly improve MCU cost-effectiveness and save PCB space. Compared with the previous generation, BG35 reduces PSM leakage by 70% and eDRX current by 85%, which effectively reduces power consumption and extends battery life of the terminal.

     BG35 fully enhances hardware-based security features, supporting technologies such as secure startup, secure debugging, secure file system, and secure keys for hardware trusted roots, ensuring that trusted applications can run directly on the Cortex A7 TrustZone engine.

     Thanks to Qualcomm's successful experience in different iot verticals, a broad and comprehensive network protocol stack and coverage of global frequency bands, BG35 and BG17 can be widely used in smart meters, asset tracking, AVL, health monitoring, vending machines and other fields. BG35 and BG17 also offer VoLTE voice capabilities, which can be used in lightweight voice terminals and devices such as panic buttons to enable users to get help in a timely manner.
