Quectel Wireless Solutions has expanded its global research and development network with the opening of a new R&D centre in Manaus, Brazil – strengthening its long-term commitment to Latin America while bringing engineering expertise closer to regional customers and partners.
Located in one of Brazil’s leading technology and manufacturing hubs, the new facility will support customers across the LATAM market by providing local engineering resources, faster technical assistance and closer collaboration on Internet of Things deployments. The centre will also promote Quectel’s portfolio of smart modules, short-range wireless technologies and PCBA and ODM IoT solutions.
Ricardo Simon, Regional Sales Director, Quectel Wireless Solutions, said: “Establishing an R&D presence in Manaus allows us to better serve our customers in Latin America while tapping into Brazil’s strong engineering talent. This new office will enhance our ability to deliver localized, high-quality IoT solutions and strengthen collaboration with customers and partners across the region.”
Quectel selected Manaus because of its established electronics ecosystem, skilled engineering workforce and proximity to key customers throughout Latin America. The company said the investment supports its strategy of expanding regional innovation capabilities while contributing to global product development.
Engineers based at the new centre will support applications including industrial automation, utilities, smart metering and asset tracking alongside other fast-growing IoT sectors. The Manaus team will also collaborate with Quectel’s worldwide R&D operations while supporting local innovation initiatives. Quectel plans to expand its software and hardware engineering workforce during the coming year to strengthen regional support and accelerate global technology development.
