Long-range wireless platform integrates transceiver and front-end module

SEMTECH SX1238 long-range transceiver platform fully integrates transceiver and front-end module into a single package creating a suitable solution for smart metering applications. Device fully integrates the FEM and transceiver into a single package optimizing size and performance. Output power of +27dBm is typically viewed as the optimal tradeoff between range and battery lifetime. Most applications targeting long range and battery operation such as water and gas meters utilize +27dBm transmit or output power.
