Fibocom's Cat.M Module MQ771-GL Enters Engineering Sample Phase

BILBAO, Spain, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fibocom announced that its Cat.M module MQ771-GL has entered the engineering sample stage. This module features a compact design, low power consumption, and global frequency coverage, making it suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) applications in asset tracking.

The MQ771-GL supports 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 14 Cat.M1 and Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) standards. Its compatibility with various frequency bands enables reliable connectivity in diverse geographical regions including North America, Europe, and Asia. This flexibility is vital for successful Low-Power Wide Area (LPWA) network deployments.

Utilizing advanced power management technologies, the MQ771-GL operates in Power Save Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX), which significantly prolongs battery life. The module's dimensions are 17.7mm x 15.8mm and it maintains compatibility with prior Fibocom Cat.1 modules, facilitating straightforward integration into tracking devices.

With versatile interface options such as Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and a hardware-level security engine, the MQ771-GL provides secure and adaptable solutions for asset tracking applications. Liu Sunzhi, General Manager of Fibocom's MTC Business Unit, said, “With the MQ771-GL now entering the engineering sample stage, its ultra-compact, ultra-low-power design is set to lower development barriers for asset tracking terminals and accelerate large-scale IoT connectivity.”
