STMicroelectronics and Sigfox to drive LPWAN-based products and systems
ST will include the Sigfox networking software in its development tools that enable developers to bring their LPWAN-based products and systems to market faster.
To speed customer adoption of Sigfox as a standard low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) for securely connecting physical devices to the Cloud and the IoT, ST will now offer the Sigfox networking software as part of its MCU software package, including STM32 tool compatibility – tailored to the needs of IoT application developers
The collaboration agreement ensures tool compatibility for the industry-leading STM32 family of general-purpose microcontrollers, as well as with ST’s unique portfolio of technologies and products suitable for Sigfox technology. These include the S2-LP, a high performance and ultra-low-power sub-GHz radio transceiver, the highly secure, Sigfox-compatible STSAFE-A1SX secure element, a wide range of motion, environmental, and audio sensors, and power and power-management devices. The key aim here is to enable faster development of LPWAN-based products and systems using STM32 microcontrollers, ultra-low power RF transceivers, secure elements, sensors, and power-management components.
