Quectel Wireless Solutions used electronica 2026 in Munich to announce two lines of IoT hardware: a flagship smart module rated at up to 100 TOPS of on-device AI compute, and ten external antennas that combine 5G with GNSS, Wi-Fi or both in one housing. Both are on show at booth C2.601.
SP900BF-AP smart module
The SP900BF-AP is built on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ-9075 processor. Quectel lists:
- Up to 100 TOPS of AI performance from a dedicated NPU and Hexagon DSP
- Qualcomm Kryo octa-core CPU up to 2.36 GHz and Adreno 663 GPU
- Up to 36 GB LPDDR5X memory and up to 256 GB UFS storage
- Ubuntu and Yocto Linux, with OS support still in development
- PCIe, USB 3.1, UART, SPI and I2C, with 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi added through those interfaces
- LGA package, 65 x 65 x 4.55 mm, rated from -40 to +85 °C on Quectel’s product page
- A product lifecycle of up to 10 years
Quectel aims the module at autonomous mobile robots with four cameras and on-device navigation, production-line inspection that keeps image data on site, and edge AI gateways running language and vision-language models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma and LLaVA locally. Key technical validation is complete, and development samples are available to selected customers. General availability has not been announced.
“Up to 100 TOPS” is a peak figure for the chipset’s AI engines. Real model throughput will depend on precision, memory bandwidth and the software stack, which Quectel says is still being finished.
Ten 5G combo antennas
The new antennas cover most of 600 to 6000 MHz for 5G, with backward compatibility to 4G, 3G, 2G, LTE Cat-M and NB-IoT. Ratings run from IP65 to IP69K.
- Vehicles, fleets and smart city: YEMN203L1AM (5G plus GNSS, 2-in-1), YEMN303J1BM (5G, Wi-Fi including 6 GHz and GNSS, 3-in-1), YEMA210L1AM (5G plus Wi-Fi, adhesive or screw mount) and YEMN208L1AM (5G plus Wi-Fi, 15.5 mm high).
- Transport, mining and industry, all IP69K: YEMN203J1BH (5G 2×2 MIMO), YEMN517U1AM (5-in-1 with dual-band L1 and L5 GNSS), YEMN306J1AH (3-in-1, low profile), YEMN204J1BH (2-in-1, 32 mm high) and the top YEMT901J1AH, a 9-in-1 with eight 5G elements and dual-band GNSS.
- Fixed CPE and gateways: YEMJ4F0JBAM, a 4-in-1 5G MIMO antenna 14 mm high, rated IP65, covering 1695 to 2700 MHz and 3300 to 6000 MHz, with up to 85.8% efficiency and a range of -40 to +60 °C.
The rugged models are built for impact, UV and high-pressure cleaning on buses, mining machines and factory floors. Antenna product manager David Wei said the range is meant to let designers match the antenna to the device. Quectel’s antenna team also offers simulation, testing and custom work, and customers can buy antennas and modules from one supplier.
