2.1. General Description

BC66 is a high-performance NB-IoT module with extremely low power consumption. It is designed to
communicate with infrastructures of mobile network operators through NB-IoT radio protocols (3GPP
Rel.13 and 3GPP Rel.14*). BC66 supports a broad range of frequency bands as listed below.

BC66 is an SMD type module with LCC package, and has an ultra-compact profile of 17.7mm × 15.8mm ×
2.0mm. These make it can be easily embedded into size-constrained applications and provide reliable
connectivity with the applications.
BC66 provides abundant external interfaces (UART, SPI*, ADC*, NETLIGHT*, etc.) and protocol stacks
(UDP/TCP, LwM2M, MQTT, etc.), which provide great convenience for customers' applications.
Due to compact form factor, ultra-low power consumption and extended temperature range, BC66 is a
best choice for a wide range of IoT applications, such as smart metering, bike sharing, smart wearables,
smart parking, smart city, home appliances, security and asset tracking, agricultural and environmental
monitoring, etc. It is able to provide a complete range of SMS* and data transmission services to meet
customers' demands.
The module fully complies with the RoHS directive of the European Union.
