Quectel BG96 Developer's Guide

About this guide
This guide is designed to help you connect one or more things to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for data
collection, storage and analysis purposes, using the Eseye-enabled Quectel BG96 module. You will also
learn how to control the modem using ATcommands.
This guide uses the plug and play LTE IoT 2 click as a worked example. The LTE IoT 2 click contains the
Quectel BG96 module, and provides a useful proof of concept.
We assume that your thing is designed to transmit data over cellular networks. You must have
knowledge of AT command and cellular modem usage for data communications.
If you want to connect with other cloud providers, or to a private cloud, speak to your Account
Manager.
