Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which makes analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has introduced its newest family of compact, high-performance RF front-end modules (FEMs) designed specifically for low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) and high-power industrial, scientific & medical (ISM) applications including the connected home, M2M, tracking and other emerging Internet of Things (IoT) platforms.

The highly integrated modules support LoRa, SigFox and other unlicensed band technologies, occupy minimal board space and are power efficient, making them suitable for sensors, beacons, smartwatches, thermostats, wireless cameras, medical pendants and smoke and CO detectors.

In addition, the new modules enable direct operation from a battery and deliver more than quadruple the range with improved sensitivity versus a standalone system-on-chip (SoC).
