Since GSM network singal is weak in some places especially in the rural places, the transfer of information across GSM/GPRS network and the GPRS transmission speed could be slow and GPRS connnection drops frequently. Quectel Wireless Solutions integrates scaning frequency techonlogy named QuecScan and locking frequecy technology named QuecLock into the module. QuecScan is used for scanning the informatio on every frequency point. QuecLock can lock the module into the specified frequecy point.
Advantages● No constraints on SIM card in execuating QuecScan function.
● QuecLock function can stablize the internet singal and accelerate internet connection.
● QuecScan and QuecLock can ensure reliable data transimission, which avoid changing base station in weak signal conditions and reduce power consumption.

FOTA is an acronym for Firmware Over-the-Air. FOTA updating technology enables mobile device manufacturers to remotely update software. New software can be delivered over the air, eliminating the need for the user to bring the device to a service facility. QuecFOTA improves the mobile terminal manufactuer experience and reduces support costs by remotely updating device firmware with new functionality and software improvements. QuecFOTA enables mobile phone manufacturers to create firmware updates for handsets and to deploy and install the updated firmware over the air. The solution manages key elements of the firmware update process● Identifies the essential changes from an existing version of firmware to a new, updated version.● Easy and simple upgrade protocol. It is very easy to embed it in the customer's software.● More flexible. The external MCU completes control over the entire upgrade process, including download speed control, firmware storage location and package encoding.● Downloads and installs the new firmware update in the background while the device is fully operational.● Manages different versions of updated firmwares and their deployment on a variety of devices. FOTA updating process consists of three stages● Generating the update package The initial stage includes gener-ating a software updating package containing bug fixed or new features. It includes the differences between the version of existing firmware on device and the updated version of firmware.
● Delivery of the update package For Quectel module, Quectel does NOT provide service to deliver the delta package to the device. Customer needs to put the delta package on their own network server (HTTP, FTP, TCP etc), and uses GPRS function provided by Quectel module to download the delta package from their network server into the device. ● Performing the update For Quectel module, customer’s device can use the specified AT commands to transfer delta package to Quectel module, and Quectel module will finish the validation and update process. Advantage: ● Suitablt for various processors and WINDOWS operation systems.● Overcomes over-the-air (OTA) bandwidth and memory constraints.● Upgrading is reliable, safe, clean and thorough.
