AI-Thinker EC-01F Narrowband Module (800-Reel)

EC-01F is an NB module developed by Ai-Thinker. The main chip scheme adopted by the NB part is EC616S. The chip has an ultra-highly integrated NB-IoT SoC, supports ultra-low power consumption, and fully supports the 3GPP Rel14 NB-IoT standard. It is an ultra-high cost-effective NB-IoT chip.
It has the following characteristics:

• Integrated radio frequency transceiver, PA, radio frequency filter, antennaswitchand power management. 
• Excellent communication performance and stability in various wirelessenvironments. 
• Excellent power consumption performance in various modes (PSM, DRX, eDRX, connected state).
