Cutting-edge technology and design
Fibocom’s FG332 module adopts the LGA form factor, packaged at 29x32mm, and utilises a hardware density design for a compact PCB area, allowing greater flexibility in product design. The module is pin-compatible with Fibocom’s LTE Cat 4 module series NL668, easing concerns about hardware investment and time to market. The FG332 performs in a highly power-efficient mode, extending battery life for User Equipment (UE). It supports regional frequency bands in Europe, North America, and APAC, with the FG332-NA engineering sample available in Q3 2024.

Integrated Wi-Fi solutions for enhanced connectivity
The FG332 is positioned for the mass deployment of Customer-Premises Equipment (CPE) and portable mobile hotspot devices with RedCap capabilities. The 5G RedCap CPE solution, combined with the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6 technology, offers high-cost performance and low-power consumption. This integration provides consumer and enterprise users with a seamless and interference-free wireless experience.
The new 5G RedCap and Wi-Fi 7 solution delivers higher data throughput (BE3600) and lower latency, compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be protocols, enabling end devices to reach speeds up to 3571Mbps under dual-band circumstances (2.4GHz + 5GHz). For a more accessible 5G RedCap and Wi-Fi 6 option, the solution maintains a speed of 3Gbps with optimised power consumption.
