RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ELECTRONICS
Our experience in the design of hardware and software electronic boards dedicated to radio frequency will enable us to meet all your specifications, both in terms of antenna sizing, integration of communication modules (BLE, wifi, LoRa, Sigefox, etc.) and in terms of standards.
COmmunicAtion : BLE, WIFI…
We can integrate all types of communication modules on frequencies ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz such as BLE, wifi, lora….
We can support the development of embedded software to communicate with your mobile or PC application.
1. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) :
- Range: Approximately 10 to 100 meters.
-
Power consumption: Very low, ideal for battery powered devices.
-
Bandwidth: Moderate, generally sufficient for short data (like sensors).
-
Applications: Wearable devices, home automation, IoT (Internet of Things).
2. Wi-Fi :
- Range: Approximately 30 to 100 meters indoors, longer outdoors.
-
Power consumption: Higher than BLE, but optimized for connected devices.
-
Bandwidth: High, allowing video streaming and large file transfer.
-
Applications: Home networks, offices, connected devices.
3. LoRa (Long Range) :
- Range: Up to 15 km in rural areas, 2-5 km in urban areas.
-
Power consumption: Very low, perfect for sensors with long battery life.
-
Bandwidth: Low, suitable for small data packets.
-
Applications: Connected agriculture, smart cities, asset track
4. Sigfox :
- Range: Around 30 to 50 km in rural areas.
-
Power consumption: Very low, allowing devices to run for years on one battery.
-
Bandwidth: Very low, designed for very short messages (maximum 12 bytes per message).
-
Applications: Object tracking, smart cities, industrial solutions.
Quick comparaison :
| Technology | Range | Power consumption | Banwidth | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BLE | 10-100 mètres | Very low | Modarate | Home automation, household appliances… |
| Wi-Fi | 30-100 mètres | High | High | Home networks |
| LoRa | 2-15 km | Very low | Low | IoT |
| Sigfox | 30-50 km | Very low | Very low | IoT |
ANTENNA SIZING AND AGREEMENTS
We develop, according to your constraints, tailor-made radio communications, taking into account:
- Signal amplification
- Noise and frequency band optimisation
- Antenna tuning
CE STANDARDS
Our radio experts will be able to guide you on the normative standards to take into account in order to comply with conducted and radiated EMC standards
FCC: For the United States, sets emission limits for wireless communications devices, indirectly influencing antenna designs.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility): Standards to ensure that electronic equipment does not interfere with other devices.
