On April 12 , Quectel announced the official launch of its IoT cloud service - QuecCloud at the Quectel Internet of Things Ecological Conference "Intelligent Connection of Everything , Counting the Future". QuecCloud has three major capabilities: intelligent hardware development, IoT open platform, and industry solutions. It can provide developers and enterprise users with full-process solutions from hardware access to software applications, helping industry customers quickly realize intelligent upgrades and commercialization. landing.
Xin Jian, deputy general manager of Quectel Communications and general manager of the cloud product department, said that as an overall solution provider for the Internet of Things, Quectel has been paying close attention to the in-depth needs of industry customers in the process of intelligence, and started to deploy mobile solutions as early as 2019. Quectel Cloud has established a cloud service team. After four years of development, Quectel Cloud has served more than 500 customers, and its software and hardware integration capabilities have withstood the test of the market.
Xin Jian pointed out that the official release of Quectel Cloud today shows that it has the ability to serve industry customers on a large scale and provide one-stop services and development tools of "hardware equipment + connection + platform + application". In the future, relying on a comprehensive capability system architecture, Quectel Cloud will help customers in application industries such as general equipment, commercial equipment, outdoor travel, and smart home to quickly realize intelligentization.
Supported by QuecThing OS , hardware development is easy and efficient
The development of intelligent hardware is the key to continuous innovation of IoT applications. Quectel can provide a quick connection kit for smart hardware - QuecThing OS, to help customers easily complete the development of smart hardware.
The Quectel module has a built-in self-developed QuecThing OS, which is compatible with Quectel BLE/Wi-Fi/NB-IoT/4G/5G and other modules, and can realize functions such as connection verification and data communication with the Quectel IoT cloud platform. Through the low-code, modular intelligent hardware development solution, customers only need to embed Quectel networking modules in existing equipment to achieve intelligent hardware upgrades.
The application of QuecThing OS allows developers to focus more on completing the business functions of their own smart hardware, without having to pay attention to those complex data formats and IoT protocols, such as MQTT/CoAP/LwM2M, etc., which can greatly reduce the developer's burden on the connection layer of the IoT platform. study cost.
At the same time, Quectel also provides a wealth of AT commands, Quectel serial port protocols, and simple and easy-to-use interfaces, and opens up the space for communication modules, providing multiple self-service access methods such as QuecPython, QuecOpen, and MCU SDK, thereby helping Customers quickly develop hardware programs to accelerate the intelligentization process of the industry.
The new IoT opener platform helps to quickly build global device management capabilities
Based on Quectel Cloud, Quectel has built a new open platform for the Internet of Things, which can provide safe and reliable device connection and communication capabilities, help users connect a large number of devices to the cloud, and quickly build global device management capabilities.
Based on the products and technical capabilities accumulated in the developer center, the platform not only has standard functions such as device management, device debugging, firmware upgrade, data analysis, and location services, but also opens more than 200 APIs, which greatly meets the needs of customers for secondary development . need. Relying on this platform, customers can also build exclusive APPs and enjoy various value-added services such as message subscription, rule engine, OTA upgrade, and physical model, so as to quickly realize the application of various business scenarios .
At the same time, in order to ensure the high-speed and stable operation of customer equipment around the world, Quectel has deployed multiple data centers and acceleration nodes around the world to meet the real-time communication needs of customer equipment and provide different security levels for communication, adapting to different According to the laws and regulations of the country and region, help customers solve problems such as service stability, data privacy, security compliance, etc., so as to better and faster global product layout, so that overseas customers have no worries.
In addition, Quectel Cloud also has the Quectel Global Connection Management Platform (QCMP) , which supports global guidance services, and has a rich selection of SIM cards, all of which are top operators in the world. The smart devices it serves can choose the nearest data center to connect, further The stability of the device networking is guaranteed.
Professional intelligent solutions to help customers quickly achieve commercialization
Based on a powerful developer platform, Quectel Cloud has strong APP development capabilities. With standard SaaS+APP, it provides one-stop solutions such as central control hardware, smart modules, mobile APP, and web management systems for multiple scenarios. Help dozens of industry scenarios such as electricity, energy, municipal administration, agriculture, industrial Internet, smart home, outdoor travel, and shared leasing to quickly realize commercialization.
At the same time, SaaS+APP also supports privatized deployment to meet the needs of more industry scenarios. Quectel has developed a number of industry cloud solutions, including smart travel solutions, power consumption solutions, commercial leasing solutions, power battery solutions, smart security solutions, smart home solutions, etc.
Quectel Cloud can not only provide SaaS, APP, data large screen and other applications, but also has multiple different levels of embedded terminal capabilities and hardware capabilities, providing low-code or zero-code solutions for embedded terminals, and providing smart hardware with a communication module The adapter board, central control, instrument, DTU, etc. outside the group. In addition, the SaaS platform can also provide functions such as device map, device management, end user management, agent management, and SIM card management, thereby providing basic data support for operators.
At the forum at the press conference, Xin Jian also gave a speech titled "Elinking Everything, Empowering Digital Transformation", giving a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the development, functions, applications and advantages of Quectel Cloud.
In the future, Quectel will continue to explore the opportunities of Quectel Cloud in the global market, and provide customers with more convenient, direct and better cloud services through continuous expansion of global capabilities.
