Ideal for smart homes and industrial IoT deployments, the modules comply with the WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA3-SAE security standards and support True Random Number Generator (TRNG) and the AES-128 encryption algorithm. In addition, the modules feature secure firmware and flash encryption.

“We’re delighted to launch the Quectel FGM842D and FGM842D-P,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “These compact, high-performance Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 modules offer optimized size and cost and are extremely versatile. This makes them suitable for a wide range of use cases across smart homes, industrial IoT and many other deployment scenarios.”

Broadening their appeal further, the modules have a compact LGA package, measuring 12.5 x 13.2 x 1.8mm for the Quectel FGM842D and 16.6 x 13.2 x 1.8mm for the FGM842D-P. The FGM842D-P features a PCB antenna rather than the FGM842D’s third generation RF coaxial connector or pin antenna interface. Operating in the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi frequency band, the modules operate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +105 °C.

Visitors to MWC Barcelona and Embedded World Munich can learn more about the FGM842D and other Quectel products at the Quectel stand. At MWC Barcelona, Quectel will be at Stand 5A19, while at Embedded World, attendees can find the stand at Stand 3-318. To schedule a meeting, attendees are invited to book an appointment here.
