1. Introduction
The IoT presents a different set of communications challenges to those faced by the conventional
internet or cellular networks. Unlike cellphones and computers, IoT devices do not need to
transfer large amounts of data. However, requirements for battery life and hardware cost are
much more stringent and difficult to meet. For example, a soil moisture sensor might send a single
moisture reading – one number – every hour. But to be practical for the farmer the batteries in
the sensor need to last for at least one growing season, and ideally several years.
SIGFOX networks provide a simplified way to connect low energy isolated devices to customer’s
applications on wide territories, through a high efficiency radio technology with extreme budget
links despite low radiations and at very low costs. Customers can then build their applications
without any concern of the heavy radio network problematic and management, and, almost, no
concern of the radio communication aspects.
The SN10-12 is a transceiver module which complies with SIGFOX network specifications. The
SN10-12 is based on NXP OL2385 chip which is a Sub-GHz wireless SoC transceiver. The SN10-12
module provides a wide range of frequency selections for IoT applications network service
platform.
