Quectel EG800K

Quectel EG800K module is designed for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, offering high cost-effectiveness, compact size, and rich interface functionalities. It is particularly suitable for portable video capture devices like body camera, meeting the stringent requirements of small terminal devices.

Application Domains

The EG800K module is primarily used in asset management, trackers, POS terminals, industrial PDAs, smart security, and body cameras. It supports LTE Cat 1 technology, enabling data transmission for voice recordings, low-bitrate video data, or critical event clips, along with precise location services using GNSS.

Key Features

Compact Size
- The module uses an LGA package with dimensions of 17.7 mm × 15.8 mm × 2.4 mm, making it easy to integrate into body cameras without compromising their portability.
Rich Interfaces
- It includes USB 2.0 high-speed interfaces, multiple UART interfaces, ADC, I2C, SPI, and other standard industrial interfaces, facilitating communication with the main control chip of the body camera and supporting remote data transmission and system management.
Remote Updates and Functionality Expansion
- Supports DFOTA (Delta Firmware Over-the-Air), allowing for remote firmware updates after deployment, reducing maintenance costs. Manufacturers can use this feature to periodically update device software, enhancing system security and compatibility.
GNSS Positioning Support
- The EG800K module offers GPS, GLONASS, BDS, and Galileo positioning capabilities, useful for tracking the trajectory of body cameras. This helps management personnel accurately monitor the movement routes of users, improving management efficiency.
Stable Low Power Consumption
- In mobile devices like body cameras, battery life is crucial. The EG800K module features a low-power design that helps extend device standby time and reduces overheating issues due to high power consumption.
