Hello Community,

I would like to install any OS with minimal functionality on the Quectel 4G-NB-IoT module (BG-96, BG-95-M3).
Will those modules support this features?

If yes,

  1. Which OS should we preffer? (ANDROID, LINUX, Any Other).
  2. What are the advatages/disadvantages of installing OS on the LTE Module?

Will you please help me to know more about this?

Regards,
Shiv Patil.

hello stephen,

As per my knowledge, Quectel uses the Qualcomm processors for most of the 4G modules of BG series.
I have studied the qualcomm processor’s specifications they are supporting both the Thread x & The Linux OS.

You will find the details here.

So I would like to know, Dose Quectel supports Linux OS for their 4G Modules?
If Yes, how can I do that?
