Key Features for Enhanced Performance
The FCM740D is equipped with a single-band (2.4 GHz) Wi-Fi 4 module and supports BLE 5.2, ensuring seamless wireless connectivity. The module comes with a built-in 256 KB SRAM and 4 MB flash memory, which provides ample storage for applications and ensures smooth operation. It also supports a wide operating temperature range, from -40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for environments requiring durability, such as industrial IoT applications or smart lighting systems in high-temperature conditions.
In terms of design, the FCM740D features a compact form factor (20.3 mm × 15.8 mm × 2.7 mm), making it ideal for integration into space-constrained devices. This, combined with Quectel's QuecOpen® solution, simplifies product development, speeding up time to market for manufacturers. The module supports several interfaces, including UART and GPIO by default, with the capability to support PWM, ADC, and other configurations in multiplexing mode.
High Reliability and Security Standards
The FCM740D stands out not only for its performance but also for its strong security capabilities. It complies with the latest security standards, including WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA3-SAE, providing robust protection for IoT networks. Its high stability and reliability make it an excellent choice for devices requiring continuous operation, such as smart home products like light bulbs, smart sockets, and light strips.
Applications and Use Cases
With its flexible design and energy-efficient features, the FCM740D is perfectly suited for a wide range of IoT applications. It is especially useful in smart home environments, powering devices that demand both small size and high performance. It can also be applied in industrial IoT scenarios where durable and long-lasting connections are critical.
Quectel offers developers a range of related products, including the FCM740D TE-B EVB kit, to assist in testing and integration. Additionally, Quectel’s antenna solutions simplify the deployment of the module, allowing users to source antennas at the same time as their modules.
Simplified Development and Deployment
The FCM740D supports Quectel’s QuecOpen® solution and standard AT commands, making product development more efficient and reducing complexity. The built-in compact protocol stack is designed to accelerate development cycles, allowing manufacturers to bring their products to market faster while ensuring high-quality performance.
