Avnet Silica has signed a distribution agreement with Insight SiP, a leading developer of ultra-miniature RF modules with embedded antennas, using system-in-package and antenna-in-package technology.
Avnet Silica customers across the EMEA region are now able to purchase a range of Insight SiP (System-in-Package) modules, including:
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules for short-range networking, including the iSP19, iSP18 and iSP15 series. These devices are designed to provide low-cost, low-power wireless connectivity in PCs, smartphones, IoT smart objects and M2M across diverse sectors such as domotics/home automation, healthcare, industrial and wearables.
• Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) iSP45 series, which incorporates long-range LoRa connectivity with short-range BLE 5.0 and NFC for setup and maintenance.
All of the Insight SiP modules offered by Avnet Silica feature integrated antennas and are fully certified by the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) and by global regulatory bodies such as the FCC, CE and TELEC.
The increased demand for wireless connectivity in portable electronic devices has driven manufacturers to deliver smaller, more cost-effective solutions. This makes the integration of RF into a single product more and more complex and increases technical risk, while at the same time design engineers are under increasing pressure to shorten the product development cycle. SiP technology enables greater functionality to be achieved in less time than is associated with designing and certifying products based on discrete devices. SiP design also avoids incurring the time-to-market penalty and higher upfront cost of ASIC development.
