Taipei, Taiwan; Geneva, Switzerland - June 27, 2018
-- LITE-ON Technology Corp. (TWSE: 2301) announces that
its wireless communication modules WSG300S, WSG303S, WSG304S, and
WSG306S have been officially accredited with "Sigfox-Verified"
certification and are ready for the booming market for Internet of
Things (IoT). The newest LITE-ON modules integrate RF and
microcontroller technology from STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM), a
global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum
of electronics applications
"In working on the project with STMicroelectronics (ST), LITE-ON
sees strong momentum for Sigfox applications. We are confident that
our Sigfox-Verified(TM) modules are of the best quality," said
Steven Wu, General Manager, Internet Communication Modules (ICM)
Business Unit, LITE-ON.
Integration Drives Strong Performance
The newly-launched Sigfox-Verified products encompass WSG300S,
WSG303S, WSG304S, and WSG306S. The WSG300S module supports both
RCZ2 (America, Mexico and Brazil) and RCZ4 (Australia, New Zealand,
Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Columbia and Argentina) while the
WSG303S, WSG304S, and WSG306S are designed for RCZ1 (Europe, Oman,
Iran and South Africa). The full product line is fully compliant
with the regulations and manufactured in compact sizes with
excellent quality.
All of the LITE-ON Sigfox-Verified modules integrate the S2-LP
sub-1GHz RF transceiver that ensures outstanding module performance
and energy efficiency, as well as either ST's STM32*
microcontroller or BlueNRG-1 BLE System-on-Chip. Among them, the
WSG304S integrates both the Sigfox and Bluetooth low energy
technologies that combine to offer a dual-radio ultra-low-power
programmable turnkey solution.
Leveraging on the programmable BlueNRG-1 SoC and S2-LP
transceiver, the WSG304S module represents a highly efficient and
cost-effective combo-radio solution for Cloud connectivity that
enables customers to realize IoT applications in a variety of
scenarios, including smart factory, smart agriculture, smart
building, home security, and asset tracking.
LITE-ON and ST Cooperation Accelerates IoT
Applications
"For many years, ST has invested in building a low-power RF
portfolio for IoT connectivity. Both the S2-LP sub-1GHz transceiver
and the BlueNRG BLE System-on-Chip perfectly match the growing
market of Sigfox-connected objects," said Benedetto Vigna,
President, Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group, STMicroelectronics.
"LITE-ON's proven experience in the module market is set to
accelerate the adoption of ready-to-use Sigfox technology and
Global Cloud connectivity for IoT applications."
