NB-IOT technology is closely integrated with various industries around the world, quietly bringing about the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and the positioning and tracking industry has also become one of the most widely used in the Internet of Things industry.

Beyond International strives to promote the application development of the emerging IoT NB-IoT + GNSS module and positioning tracking industry . ME3616-G is the NB-IoT + GNSS module that was launched and mass-produced earlier in the industry by Gaoxin IoT . It supports GPS / Beidou outdoor positioning andOTDOA indoor positioning functions. Its ME3616 series module has won the tenth "IOTE 2018 Gold Award" .

For the asset positioning and tracking industry, ME3616-G achieves solution-level optimization through the Open CPU function, including RAM 100KB, FLASH 256KB, and 5 GPIOs. Based on the ME3616-G development Tracker program, the amount of materials used can be reduced to 50% of the original program, and the overall cost is reduced by about 20%. ME3616-G not only optimizes the price of modules, but also integrates with downstream customers' overall machine solutions to achieve simultaneous improvement in performance and cost.

Five product advantages of ME3616-G

 • Small size

The increase in functionality does not affect its size. The ME3616-G1A measures 16mm x 18 mm, and is still the smallest / smallest NB-IoT module that meets 3GPP R14 and China Communications Standards Association (CCSA). The small size further expands its application scenarios, such as smart wearable products that have extremely high requirements on the size, and the small size also means that the terminal devices using the module will have more room to play.

 • Low power consumption

As we all know, low power consumption is one of the significant advantages of NB-IoT. Compared with the current mainstream GSM + positioning solution, the power consumption of ME3616-G1A with increased GNSS chip is reduced to 30% ~ 50% of the original 2G solution for cold start, hot start, and capture positioning. ME3616-G1A also supports the "second fixed" function, which can ensure that the power consumption is reduced from the working mechanism through faster positioning.

 • low cost

Compared with the traditional solution of the existing MCU + NB-IoT module + positioning module, ME3616-G1A achieves solution-level optimization through the OpenCPU function, saving customers MCU and peripheral materials, and the number of materials for developing a tracker solution is 50% of the original plan, the overall cost is reduced by about 20%.

 • Easy to develop

By reducing the number of components, ME3616-G1A reduces the system complexity and development threshold for customers, and the development cycle is shortened by more than 30%, which means that product failures are reduced and costs are reduced.

 • High performance

ME3616-G1A provides the OpenCPU solution, which provides a reference design for the research and development of Tracker products. Through the combination of interface unit, logic unit and network unit, it brings better versatility, flexibility and stability to customers; static and dynamic testing The comparison results show that the terminal products using the ME3616-G1A module are significantly better than similar competitors in terms of positioning accuracy and power consumption indicators.
