New high-performance
module combines edge AI processing, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth connectivity
for smart home, smart building and industrial IoT applications
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global end-to-end IoT solutions
provider, today announces the launch of the FCM665D, a high-performance
Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth module with edge AI processing capabilities,
designed for smart home, smart building and industrial IoT devices.
Designed
for products such as smart lighting, video doorbells and central
control hubs, the FCM665D pairs high-performance connectivity with
on-device intelligence, giving manufacturers a way to build faster,
smarter, more capable devices without leaning on constant cloud
connectivity.
“This module has the AI capabilities and processing
power to compete at the highest level,” said Delbert Sun, Vice General
Manager, Product Department, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “Smart home and
IoT devices are required to do more locally at the edge, from
recognizing voice commands to processing images in real time, and that
requires genuine computing performance. The FCM665D gives our customers
that power in a compact module that is easy to integrate and deploy.”
Edge AI processing for smart home and smart building devices
The
launch comes as demand for smart homes and smart building technology
accelerates. Juniper Research forecasts that industrial smart building
deployments will grow from 26 million in 2025 to more than 165 million
by 2030, as operators seek to reduce energy waste and introduce
sensor-driven automation.
Meeting this demand increasingly
requires intelligence to move to the edge of the network, closer to the
connected device itself. By processing voice, image and other data
locally, edge AI can reduce latency, limit dependence on cloud
connectivity, and enable faster responses.
The FCM665D supports this shift with two dedicated software development kits on a single hardware platform.
The AI Development Kit (AIDK) supports voice processing functions
including echo cancellation, noise suppression, voice activity detection
and keyword spotting, as well as image recognition.
The
Audio & Video Development Kit (AVDK) supports multimedia-intensive
IoT designs, including audio and video processing, display functionality
and cloud integration.
High-performance processing for on-device AI workloads
At
the heart of the FCM665D is a 32-bit triple-core ARMv8-M Star MCU
running at up to 480 MHz. Combined with up to 16 MB of PSRAM and 16 MB
of flash memory, the processor gives connected products the capacity to
run demanding AI and multimedia workloads locally instead of repeatedly
sending data to the cloud.
This combination of edge AI and
multimedia performance makes the FCM665D suitable for a broad range of
connected devices. Image encoding and decoding capabilities, together
with dedicated peripherals, support applications including low-power
video doorbells, video door locks and LCD displays.
The module’s
processor performance and large storage capacity also support multiple
network connections and the local caching of long-term operating data
for energy storage batteries and photovoltaic inverters. Its edge AI
capabilities also make it well suited to smart home applications such as
intelligent lighting and central control systems.
Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and advanced IoT security
The
FCM665D provides single-band 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 connectivity based on IEEE
802.11 b/g/n/ax, together with Classic Bluetooth 2.1 and Bluetooth Low
Energy 5.4. The module also supports Wi-Fi pairing via Bluetooth,
helping simplify device provisioning and connectivity.
In
addition, the module provides a high-performance Ethernet Media Access
Controller (MAC) for Local Area Network (LAN) communications via a
Reduced Media-Independent Interface (RMII). Fully compliant with the
IEEE 802.3-2015 standard, it enables reliable, standards-based Ethernet
connectivity across a wide range of embedded and networking
applications. Designed for flexibility and ease of integration, the
module is well suited for use in network interface cards (NICs), data
center bridges, and network nodes, helping developers accelerate the
deployment of robust Ethernet-enabled systems.
Support for
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA3-SAE security standards, hardware encryption
and TrustZone protection helps safeguard connected devices and their
data.
Quectel’s QuecOpen® solution provides 50 GPIOs by default
and up to 54 depending on pin multiplexing and memory configuration,
giving designers extensive interface flexibility for integrating the
module into a wide variety of smart home, smart building and industrial
IoT product designs.
Measuring just 31.4 mm × 18.0 mm × 2.15 mm
and supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the
FCM665D is designed for integration into both space-constrained consumer
devices and demanding industrial IoT applications.
