Fibocom launches a highly integrated multi-mode smart module SC208 with gigantic performance leaps in 4G category and a series of feature-packed multimedia experience improvements during MWC Barcelona 2024. Powered by the Snapdragon 460 mobile platform with an octa-core processor (4*A73 1.8GHz + 4*A53 1.6GHz) and with a high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU), the module is capable of multi-tasking in terms of 1080P video transmission, multi-camera input simultaneously while balancing the power consumption, bolstering the adoption of smart wireless solution in industries such as smart POS, industrial handsets, body-worn cameras, PoC terminals, in-vehicle applications, smart home and more.
Fibocom SC208 is designed to meet the evolving demand for edge intelligence for smart IoT terminals by integrating the Snapdragon 460 Mobile platform, supporting a 2x increase in overall system performance, compared to previous generations. Supporting MIPI DSI at 2520×1080@60fps and offering DDR4X in memory selection, SC208 brings multiple advancements in the overall performance. In hardware design, it adopts LCC+LGA form factor, allowing customers to migrate from Fibocom’s 4G smart module portfolio including SS808, SQ808, SC128, SU808, SC138 and SC228 smoothly. Furthermore, the 4G medium smart module is equipped with multi-constellation GNSS for precise location tracking service indoors and outdoors. Additionally, it pre-sets with an upgradable Android 14 operating system along with an extension of rich interfaces including MIPI/ USB/ UART/ SPI/ I2C, etc., enabling much flexibility and ease of integration to meet various application demands of the IoT industry.
“Qualcomm Technologies is thrilled to collaborate with Fibocom to help them advance the edge intelligence capabilities of smart IoT terminals. The launch of the SC208 module, powered by the Snapdragon 460 platform, brings impressive performance leaps and multimedia processing capabilities to the forefront,” stated ST Liew vice president, QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies Asia-Pacific Pte. Ltd. and President, Qualcomm Taiwan, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. “We are proud to support Fibocom in their mission to drive the adoption of smart wireless solutions across various industries.
