1 Introduction
Quectel BG96 module features embedded TCP/IP stack, which enables the host to access the Internet
directly over AT commands. This greatly reduces the dependence on the PPP and external TCP/IP
protocol stacks and thus minimizes the cost.
Quectel BG96 module provides the following socket services:
TCP client
UDP client
TCP server
UDP server
