STEVAL-FKI001V1, Dual Radio BLE and Sub-1GHz Development Kit for Sigfox, LPWAN Protocols with BlueNRG-1, S2-LP

STEVAL-FKI001V1, Development Kit is a cost-effective tool to help you design solutions based on Sigfox, Bluetooth low energy and sub-1GHz technologies. The kit features a fully programmable module WS2118 (by Jorjin), which embeds the BlueNRG-1 system-on-chip for Bluetooth low energy functionality and the S2-LP transceiver for sub-1GHz functionality such as LPWAN protocols. This development effectively combines Bluetooth low energy features with the connection capacity of Sigfox wide-area networks. It includes examples and recommendations regarding the simultaneous use of the two protocols. Very low active RF and MCU current, and low-power mode current consumption provide excellent battery lifetime, allowing operation with coin cell batteries and energy-harvesting applications
