LTE

Co-developed by Sequans and Skyworks, the SKY66431 tiny system-in-package enables LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity for 5G massive IoT deployments. Housed in an 8.8×11.3×1.585-mm BGA package, the SKY66431 teams a 23-dBm RF front end from Skyworks with Sequans’ Monarch 2 LTE-M and NB-IoT modem operating in the 699-MHz to 2200-MHz frequency range. In addition, the device provides power management, memory, and crystals, as well as a low-power GNSS function.

The system-in-package complies with the ultra-low power and reduced complexity feature requirements of the 3GPP release 14 LTE-Advanced Pro standard that defines narrowband, low data rate LTE technology for machine-type-communications (MTC), and it is upgradable to 3GPP release 15 and 16. The SKY66431 is intended to address the demand for form-factor driven cellular LPWAN endpoints. It can be used for utility meters, asset trackers, security and alert systems, wearable medical devices, and other battery-powered devices.

Both Sequans and Skyworks are selling the device under the name Monarch 2 SiP and SKY66431, respectively. The part is being certified by a number of industry and regulatory agencies, as well as multiple network operators. It is available now for select customers, with general availability expected in the first quarter of 2023.
