Bilbao, Spain – November 19, 2025 – Fibocom (300638.SZ | 0638.HK), a global leader in wireless communicationmodules and AI solutions, announced that its Cat.Mmodule MQ771-GL has entered the engineering sample stage. Withits ultra-compact size, low power consumption,global frequency coverage, and stable network compatibility,the MQ771-GL offers a cost-effective IoT solution for asset tracking, enablinglong battery life, high reliability, and precise positioning for large-scaleLPWA deployments.

Dual-Mode Support for FlexibleDeployment

The MQ771-GL supports 3GPP Release 14Cat.M1 and NB-IoT standards and is compatible with mainstream frequencybands worldwide, making it ideal for LPWA network deployments across NorthAmerica, Europe, Asia, and beyond. This global compatibility ensuresreliable connectivity for asset tracking devices and enables flexible operationeven in complex or challenging environments.

Compact Size with Ultra-Low Power Consumption

Leveraging advanced power managementtechnologies, the MQ771-GL supports PSM (Power Saving Mode) and eDRX (extendedDiscontinuous Reception), dramatically extending device battery life. InPSM mode, standby current drops to the microampere (μA) level, cutting powerconsumption by 75% compared with the previous generation — ideal for smartwater meters. In eDRX mode, power usage is reduced by 90%, making itsuitable for gas meters, asset trackers, and other long-term outdoor devices,enabling multi-year operation.

The module’s 17.7mm × 15.8mm LGA package is compatible with the pin layout of Fibocom’s Cat.1 modules, supportingflexible product iteration. Its compact form factor is well-suited forspace-constrained tracking devices, simplifying integration and deployment.

Enhanced Performance with Rich InterfaceOptions

The MQ771-GLsupports MQTT, CoAP, LwM2M and standard interfaces like UART, I2C,and I2S, making it adaptable for diverse asset tracking terminals. Itintegrates Soft GPS for precise real-time positioning and features a hardware-levelsecurity engine for encrypted, secure communications, protecting againstunauthorized access.

Liu Sunzhi,General Manager of Fibocom’s MTC Business Unit, commented:
"With the MQ771-GL now entering the engineering sample stage, itsultra-compact, ultra-low-power design is set to lower development barriers forasset tracking terminals and accelerate large-scale IoT connectivity. Movingforward, we will continue to strengthen collaborative innovation with verticalindustries, driving the rapid commercialization of low-power, wide-connectivitysolutions for asset tracking and other IoT applications."
