A drop-in SiP module for IoT end nodes

If the complexities of RF system engineering, protocols, and antenna design threatens to slow down your end application, then you might want to look closely at Silicon Labs’ BGM12X SiP module. Based on Silicon Labs’ Blue Gecko wirelss SoC, the device targets low- and mid-range space-constrained applications such as wearables. At at time when differentiating a chip is more challenging than ever, Silabs has made an effort to put almost as much software into the product as hardware. At this time, the company is focusing on Bluetooth but expects to deliver on request for multiple protocols in the near future.
