Whatever the nature or purpose of a network, there’s a wireless connectivity technology – most often a standard – that is optimized to fit the specific range, energy per bit and bandwidth requirements. With the growing importance of wireless sensor networks and even more broadly the Internet of Things concept, there’s virtually no electronic system that does not require wireless connectivity.
ST’s portfolio includes a variety of RF transceivers, network processors ICs and fully certified modules for key wireless connectivity technologies including sub-1GHz long-range networks including 6LowPan, Wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus), Sigfox and LoRaWAN, Bluetooth-Smart®, LTE Cat 1 and Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT).
