Qorvo has announced that SIMCom Wireless Solutions, a leading global Internet of Things (IoT) supplier, has selected Qorvo to provide the RF solution for its new NB-IoT modules.
The SIMCom SIM7000A and SIM7000C modules target high-volume cellular smart metering and asset tracking applications that use low-power wide-area networks based on the new NB-IoT and LTE CAT-M1 (eMTC) standards. At least 11 operators have already launched NB-IoT or LTE CAT-M1 networks, with a further 14 networks planned, according to the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA). ABI Research predicts that low-power wide-area networks will be the world’s fastest-growing connectivity technology through 2025, supporting four billion IoT devices by that date.
The Qorvo NB-IoT RF solution optimizes performance and low power consumption in high-volume, low-power IoT applications. Designed for global use, it helps IoT manufacturers reduce cost by minimizing the need to regionalize their products. The solution includes high-efficiency power amplifiers and a low-loss switch.
