SHANGHAI and DALLAS, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-The incorporation of Polte's Massive IoT location technology to Quectel's LPWA

module portfolio will enable developers to achieve more secure, accurate,

globally available location intelligence for asset tracking across industries.

Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global supplier of IoT modules and antennas, has

announced support for Polte, innovator of Cloud Location over Cellular (C-LoC)

technology, to its LPWA module portfolio. Quectel will incorporate Polte's

SuperRes capability into all BG77x and BG95x modules, to offer secure,

accurate, global location for indoor and outdoor positioning.

Polte will deliver Quectel customers:

-Heightened security through offloading computational complexity to the cloud

via Polte's patented, edge-to-cloud architecture.

-Greater than 10x more accurate cellular positioning capability over

competitive cellular solutions for Massive IoT asset tracking.

-Global positioning indoors and outdoors, regardless of mobile network

operator, without a requirement for additional infrastructure deployment.

-Greater power efficiency and cost savings in comparison to other traditional

location technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.

The Quectel BG770, BG950 and BG951 are ultra-compact LPWA modules that support

LTE Cat M1, LTE Cat NB2 and integrated GNSS. All three modules are fully

compliant with 3GPP Rel-14 specification and provide maximum data rates of 588

kbps downlink and 1119 kbps uplink. The BG770 has an SMT form factor of 14.9 mm

× 12.9 mm × 1.9 mm while the Quectel BG950 and BG951 modules have an SMT form

factor of 23.6 mm × 19.9 mm × 2.2 mm. All three modules feature ultra-low power

consumption, achieving up to 70% reduction in power saving mode (PSM) leakage

and 85% reduction in extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) current

consumption compared to their predecessors.

Simply leveraging ubiquitous 4G/5G cellular infrastructure and cloud computing,

Polte's unique technology enables Massive IoT asset trackers combined with

Quectel's LPWA modules to deliver a significant competitive edge to trackers

that may otherwise require an amalgamation of traditional technologies to

attain similar visibility. Together, Polte and Quectel will bring universal

asset visibility for a wide range of assets, such as parcels or pallets in the

supply chain, as they are transported between trucks and distributed to retail

destinations.

"We are dedicated to continued innovation and enhancing what is possible with

asset tracking for our customers," said Quectel VP of Products Neset

Yalcinkaya. "With Polte's technology, our customers will now have access to

industry-leading accuracy for both indoor and outdoor insights globally,

without sacrificing on power, cost or security. We look forward to supporting

Polte's SuperRes capability and helping tracking customers build a smarter

world."

"We are thrilled to partner with Quectel to bring our Massive IoT location

technology to their customers," Polte CEO Ed Chao said. "The concept of

universal asset visibility should be simple. With an increasingly challenged

global supply chain, transportation and logistics managers need visibility into

their most critical assets at all stages of their journey to truly reap the

benefits of connected devices, including improved operational efficiency and

proactive decision making. With this new partnership, we are helping make

'everywhere' location intelligence the standard for enterprise solutions."
