MUNICH, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence, multimedia interaction and digital applications across industries develop rapidly, more devices are evolving from terminals focused solely on connectivity into devices with computing, interaction and intelligent application capabilities.
Fibocom SC236 Smart Module
At the same time, AI capabilities are gradually moving onto end devices. Traditional wireless modules centered on connectivity are evolving into platforms that combine computing, multimedia and intelligent application capabilities, creating new opportunities for AIoT device innovation.
At electronica 2026, Fibocom is introducing its SC236 smart module. Built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ Q-2390 processor, SC236 combines computing, multimedia processing and wireless connectivity to provide AIoT devices with integrated capabilities spanning connectivity, computing and application hosting, helping customers develop smart devices for the future.
SC236 has entered the product introduction stage, with mass production planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Computing Capabilities Enable Smarter Devices
Traditional wireless communications modules primarily provide device connectivity. As AI and intelligent applications increasingly extend to end devices, however, demand for local computing and application processing capabilities is growing.
SC236 features a quad-core processor architecture comprising three Cortex-A55 cores and one Cortex-A78 core, together with an integrated Adreno 704 GPU. This high-performance computing architecture enhances on-device processing capabilities, providing a foundation for devices to run a wider range of local applications.
Compared with traditional connectivity-focused modules, SC236 further strengthens local processing capabilities, enabling devices to support more intelligent application functions and helping devices across industries evolve from “connected” to “intelligent.”
Multimedia Capabilities Expand AIoT Application Possibilities
As visual interaction, human-machine interaction and video applications continue to develop, smart devices require more capable displays, cameras and multimedia processing.
SC236 provides multimedia processing capabilities, supporting displays at up to FHD resolution (1920 × 1080 at 60 fps) and multiple-camera applications to meet requirements such as video capture and human-machine interaction.
For devices such as wireless smart payment terminals, industrial handhelds, body-worn cameras and dash cameras, SC236 combines computing, multimedia and wireless connectivity to deliver richer interactive experiences and intelligent application capabilities.
An Open Software Environment Accelerates Product Development
To meet the diverse development needs of customers across industries, SC236 runs the Android operating system and uses an LCC+LGA package, offering greater flexibility in software development and hardware design.
For wireless connectivity, SC236 supports LTE Cat 4 cellular communications, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 BLE and multi-constellation GNSS positioning.
Working with Ecosystem Partners to Advance AIoT Innovation
Edward Ai, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Qualcomm Technologies, said:
“As devices across more industries become increasingly intelligent, demand for computing capabilities, intelligent interaction and reliable connectivity continues to grow. Qualcomm Dragonwing platforms address the needs of a wide range of intelligent edge devices, helping device manufacturers develop next-generation products with higher performance and richer application experiences. We are pleased to continue working with Fibocom to bring this platform to more IoT device applications.”
Thales Zhang, Vice President and Head of the Global Marketing and Computing Business Group at Fibocom, said:
“As AI capabilities continue to extend to end devices, devices across industries are evolving from connectivity-focused terminals into devices with local computing and intelligent interaction capabilities. Built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-2390 processor, the SC236 smart module combines connectivity, computing and multimedia capabilities to provide customers with an integrated development solution for AIoT devices, helping enable more intelligent devices across industries.”
Looking ahead, Fibocom will continue to advance the integration of wireless connectivity and smart device capabilities, accelerating the deployment of AI technologies in more devices across industries.
