New sub-1-GHz (sub-GHz) SoCs, delivering the world's first sub-GHz wireless solutions that combine long-range RF and energy efficiency with certified Arm PSA Level 3 security to meet the global demand for high-performance, battery-powered IoT products. Expanding the company's award-winning Series 2 platform, EFR32FG23 (FG23) and EFR32ZG23 (ZG23) system-on-chip (SoC) solutions provide developers with flexible, multiprotocol sub-GHz connectivity options supporting a wide range of modulation schemes and advanced wireless technologies, including Amazon Sidewalk, mioty, Wireless M-Bus, Z-Wave and proprietary IoT networks.
The new FG23 and ZG23 wireless SoC solutions offer an optimized combination of ultra-low transmit and receive radio power (13.2 mA TX at 10 dBm, 4.2 mA RX at 920 MHz) and best-in-class RF (+20 dBm output power and -125.3 dBm RX at 868 MHz, 2.4 kbps GFSK), making it possible for IoT end nodes to achieve 1+ mile wireless range while operating on a coin cell battery for 10+ years. These SoCs also leverage Secure Vault™, certified PSA Level 3, enabling developers to safeguard IoT products against software and hardware attacks which can compromise intellectual property, ecosystems and brand trust. FG23 and ZG23 SoCs enable developers to create IoT products that enhance the efficiency and performance of a wide range of applications including smart infrastructure, metering, environmental monitoring, connected lighting, industrial controls, electronic shelf labels (ESL), building and home automation.
