SIMCom A7665SA is a brand-new, ultra-compact LTE Cat 1 bis module that was just unveiled at MWC 2026 (Mobile World Congress). It is specifically designed to bring high-speed 4G connectivity to the smallest of IoT devices, particularly targeting the South American (Latin American) market.
SIMCom A7665SA Module Specifications:
* Network Standards: 3GPP Release 14 LTE Cat 1 bis (Single Antenna)
* Target Market: South America / Latin America (SA suffix)
* Data Rates: Downlink: up to 10 Mbps / Uplink: up to 5 Mbps
* Compatibility: Pin-compatible with SIM800C (2G) and SIM7080G (LPWA)
* Functions: Supports FOTA, LBS (Location Based Services), MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS
* Power Efficiency: Optimized for battery-powered "always-on" connectivity
Core Advantages
* The "Easy Upgrade" Path: It is designed to be package-compatible with the SIM800C and SIM7080G. This means if you have an existing product using 2G (SIM800C) or NB-IoT (SIM7080G), you can swap in the A7665SA to upgrade to 4G LTE without a total PCB redesign.
* Cost-Performance Balance: By using Cat 1 bis (which requires only one antenna instead of the two required by standard Cat 1), the A7665SA reduces both the module cost and the complexity of the device's antenna system.
* South American Band Support: The "SA" variant ensures that the module supports the specific LTE frequency bands used across Latin American carriers, which can often differ from European or North American configurations.
