MC60 Mini Development Board Description
MC60 Mini Development Board (MiniDB) can greatly assist you in experimenting, testing, designing, and generally speeding up the learning and product design processes, freeing your mind from getting bogged down with peripheral technical issues. This development board is designed for the MC60 module from Quectel, allowing you to quickly set up the module and familiarize yourself with its capabilities. MC60 is a quad-band full-featured GSM/GPRS module in an LCC castellation package. It integrates GNSS for satellite navigation and delivers optimized SMS, data, and audio performance even in harsh environments.
