For IoT Microchip Technology is combining long-range RF devices from Semtech with its PIC microcontrollers.
The likely applications will include metering, security, and industrial-automation.
Microchip is addressing teh IoT market with certified wireless modules, sensors and eXtreme Low Power PIC microcontrollers.
Semtech says its LoRa RF devices reduce the need for repeaters and has data capacity for IoT networks.
For example, the SX1272 860-1000MHz transceiver has +20dBm output power at 100mW and a data rate up to 300kbit/s. It has a link budget of 157dB.
According to Steve Caldwell, vice-president of the wireless products at Microchip: “We have already begun developing our first LoRa solutions.”
