Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and Semtech Corporation introduced the SKY66423-SX1261 reference design for low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN). The SKY66423-SX1261 combines Semtech's LoRa® Connect™ SX1261 transceiver with Skyworks' SKY66423front-end module (FEM) for use in a variety of industrial and smart city applications. The proliferation of wireless devices operating in the industrial, science and medical (ISM) bands contributes to noise interference and creates reliability challenges for long-range and power-sensitive applications.
By increasing the transmit output power and reducing the receiver's system noise figure, the SKY66423-SX1261 addresses these challenges and provides an effective solution for industrial IoT deployments using LoRaWAN®. The LoRaWAN specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery operated ‘things' to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services. LoRa Connect sub-GHz radio transceivers are ideal for long range wireless applications and are highly configurable to meet different applications' requirements utilizing the global LoRaWAN standard.
The SKY66423-SX1261 meets the extended range and power efficiency needs of security, automation, industrial, smart city and connected home applications.
