Leveraging the powerful combination of Matter and Thread, Quectel’s KGM133S series delivers robust, scalable connectivity to power all-scenario IoT solutions. Built on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, Thread natively supports globally unique IPv6 addressing, enabling seamless IP-based connectivity. Unlike Zigbee, Thread devices don’t rely on gateways for complex protocol conversions – they connect directly to the Internet via a Border Router, simplifying network architecture and dramatically reducing latency. With its core advantages of low power consumption and high reliability, Thread has become a cornerstone technology for the Matter ecosystem.
