Fibocom has announced the release of a new LTE smart module SC228 for the acceleration of digital transformation in smart retailing, smart wearable camera, Industrial IoT, In-vehicle infotainment market. Integrated with a 6nm processor, the module utilises the powerful CPU and GPU to deliver superior multimedia performance while conserving power. Compatible with frequency bands worldwide, the module also supports Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi for short-distance wireless communication. Engineering sample will be available by late December 2023.

The integration of AI and IoT is influencing the way that decision-makers from various industries operate and respond to real-time information. The integrated smart module SC228 is capable of offering a comprehensive answer for industry customers to improve product performance and facilitate the decision-making process. Equipped with a powerful CPU, SC228 can support the smooth running of AI algorithms, which ensures the terminals realise a bunch of functionalities such as facial recognition, human-machine interaction (HMI), and so on. In terms of multimedia processing, the SC228 is integrated with a low-power island digital signal processors (DSP) for sensors and audio, furthermore, it also supports multi-camera input and output with up to three of them working simultaneously.

To cater to diverse IoT application scenarios, the SC228 is designed with interfaces including mobile industry processor interface (MIPI)/universal serial bus (USB)/universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART)/serial peripheral interface (SPI)/ inter-integrated circuit (I2C) to help customers develop the terminals flexibly. In software design, the SC228 is preset with an upgradable Android 14 operating system in cope with the ever-evolving software innovations, which can help our customers quickly meet the requirements for Google Mobile Service (GMS) certification and continuous development for long lifecycle terminals. Notably, the premium smart module is also built-in with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for fast and accurate positioning for mobile scenarios.

“AI-driven productivity is inevitably evolving as an essential to extend the capabilities of IoT devices, significantly improve the operational efficiency by enriching the IoT device with edge computing,” said Eden Chen, a general manager of MC BU at Fibocom. “We are pleased to be at the forefront of the AIoT market to provide a comprehensive, highly integrated SC228 smart module solution for various industries, looking forward, we are optimistic to unleash the interconnected intelligence with our powerful smart module portfolio.”
