Semtech published application notes for SX126X, enabling new areas of Convergence for Sigfox & LoRa/ LoRaWAN. The announcement paves the way for enhanced connectivity, interoperability, and seamless integration of these two powerful technologies.
What does this mean to Developers, Devices & Solution Makers?
- Any IoT stakeholder (device, module, and solutions makers) who is using the SX1261 chipset can implement both Sigfox and LoRa in one SKU, optimising their investment by addressing a wider customer base with a single chipset.
- LoRa Edge and LoRa Connect portfolio now embed Sigfox in most LoRa-enabled products including
- SX1261,
- LCC68,
- LR1110,
- LR1120, and
- LR1121
What does this mean to IoT customers?
The IoT Ecosystem, encompassing a vast array of applications such as metering, asset tracking, and logistics, can now benefit from a more robust and extensive network coverage and performance essential for the operation of IoT devices spread over a large geographical area, by combining the two key Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN).
Where can I find more information?
For developers, the SX126X RF API implementation example to use this chip with our open-sourced library is now available as open source on GitHub.
