Fibocom introduces SC236 smart module for AIoT devices

Fibocom is introducing its SC236 smart module at electronica 2026, a product aimed at AIoT device makers as connectivity-focused hardware takes on more computing roles.

Artificial intelligence, multimedia interaction and digital applications are developing rapidly, and AI capabilities are gradually moving onto end devices. Wireless modules that once focused mainly on connectivity are evolving into platforms that combine computing, multimedia and intelligent application functions.

The SC236 is built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-2390 processor and uses a quad-core design with three Cortex-A55 cores and one Cortex-A78 core, along with an integrated Adreno 704 GPU. It supports displays up to FHD resolution (1920 × 1080 at 60 fps) and multiple-camera applications. Its wireless features include LTE Cat 4 cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 BLE and multi-constellation GNSS positioning.

SC236 runs the Android operating system and uses an LCC+LGA package, which offers greater flexibility in software development and hardware design. Named applications include wireless smart payment terminals, industrial handhelds, body-worn cameras and dash cameras. The product has entered the introduction stage, with mass production planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Edward Ai, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Qualcomm Technologies, said: “As devices across more industries become increasingly intelligent, demand for computing capabilities, intelligent interaction and reliable connectivity continues to grow. Qualcomm Dragonwing platforms address the needs of a wide range of intelligent edge devices, helping device manufacturers develop next-generation products with higher performance and richer application experiences.”

Thales Zhang, Vice President and Head of the Global Marketing and Computing Business Group at Fibocom, said: “Built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-2390 processor, the SC236 smart module combines connectivity, computing and multimedia capabilities.” Fibocom plans to keep integrating wireless connectivity with smart device capabilities as AI technologies reach more devices.
