MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 11, 2026--
Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global end-to-end IoT solutions provider, today announced the SP900BF-AP, a smart module that lets robots, inspection systems and edge gateways run large AI models on the device itself.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261111252890/en/
Built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 Processor and delivering up to 100 TOPS of on-device AI compute, the module enables industrial OEMs to integrate advanced AI directly into their products, reducing latency, bandwidth costs and data privacy risks associated with cloud-based processing. By processing data locally, manufacturers can support real-time robotics, automated inspection and other demanding industrial applications while retaining greater control over sensitive production data. Long-term hardware availability also helps meet the extended product lifecycles required by industrial customers.
“The value of AI must ultimately be proven on the industrial front line,” said Raymond Wang, Product Head, Smart, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “We are delivering more than a high-performance module: we are providing a complete, ready-to-use edge intelligence solution that helps customers bypass complex low-level development and accelerate their AI-driven transformation.”
The module supports a range of edge AI applications, including autonomous mobile robots, with four-camera support, 3D perception and on-device navigation; production-line inspection, enabling real-time defect detection without transferring sensitive data off-site; and edge AI gateways, running large language and vision-language models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma and LLaVA locally to reduce bandwidth requirements and keep data secure.
The module combines an octa-core Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU running at up to 2.36 GHz with an Adreno™ 663 GPU, Hexagon™ DSP and dedicated NPU to deliver powerful on-device AI processing. With memory options up to 36 GB LPDDR5X and 256 GB UFS, it also supports real-time multi-stream video processing and multiple displays.
Industrial equipment stays in the field for years, and the SP900BF-AP is planned accordingly. Quectel commits to a product lifecycle of up to 10 years, helping customers reduce inventory, maintenance and upgrade costs. The module is designed to run Ubuntu and Yocto Linux, with support currently in development. PCIe, USB 3.1, UART, SPI and I²C interfaces let OEMs add 4G/5G or Wi-Fi to suit each deployment. The Dragonwing IQ-9075 processor's support for industrial real-time control and low-power design helps balance performance with energy use.
The SP900BF-AP is the result of close collaboration between Quectel and Qualcomm Technologies, combining modular design with system-level optimisation to deliver stable on-device AI performance in demanding industrial settings.
The SP900BF-AP has completed key technical validation, and engineering samples are now available to selected customers for solution evaluation and joint development.
Attendees at Electronica can find this and the complete end-to-end Quectel IoT solutions portfolio on stand C2.601 at the show.

Quectel SP900BF-AP smart module sets the pace for Edge AI with 100 TOPS of computing power
ANTALYA, Turkey (AP) — World leaders began to arrive Wednesday to start formal discussions at the United Nations climate change conference in Turkey, hoping to agree on concrete actions to curb global warming after a year of deadly floods, heat waves and other climate-related disasters.
But what can and will be accomplished at the Conference of the Parties, called COP31, remains to be seen. Past talks have been criticized for making promises that later fell flat.
While delegates at the 2023 conference in Dubai agreed to transition away from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas — the leading contributor to climate change — subsequent conferences in Azerbaijan and Brazil ended with little agreement on reductions. Last year's Brazil conference produced a compromise agreement pledging additional money to help vulnerable nations adapt to climate change.
This year's conference officially kicked off Monday with Turkey hosting and Australia leading negotiations at a time of fears that the world is not moving quickly enough.
Many participants, who struggled with overcrowded transport links and traffic congestion, set out for the summit venue before sunrise to avoid lengthy delays. Access was expected to become increasingly difficult as security measures increase and key conference areas are temporarily blocked with the arrival of world leaders.
Scientists say global warming is likely to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels of the early 1800s. Limiting temperature rise to that threshold was a goal set during the 2015 Paris Agreement and has been a focus of international negotiations.
The talks also come as the war in Iran has increased global prices of gasoline, oil and products made with them, such as fertilizers and pesticides. That has pushed governments to rethink energy policies and investment in renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
“We don’t need more promises, we need plans,” said John Kerry, former U.S. secretary of state and former presidential climate envoy, though the U.S. itself, the world’s second-largest polluter after China, is noticeably absent for the second year in a row.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called climate change a hoax, has targeted offshore wind projects and removed rules limiting power plant emissions.
