Overview

The SKY66430-11 is a highly integrated LTE-M and NB-IoT transceiver module designed for low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) applications. It combines a Sequans SQN3330 baseband processor with a complete RF front-end, supporting a wide frequency range from 698MHz to 2.2GHz in a compact BGA package.

Why Choose This Part

This module offers a massive reduction in design complexity by integrating the RF front-end, power management, and baseband into a single surface-mount component. It features a wide supply voltage range of 3.1V to 5.5V and extremely low power consumption, including a 1uA sleep mode, to extend the life of battery-powered devices.

Applications

Asset Tracking
Ideal for personal, pet, and industrial asset tracking where low power consumption and global LTE band support are required.
Smart Metering
Reliable connectivity for utility meters in challenging environments thanks to LTE-M and NB-IoT penetration capabilities.
Wearable Medical Devices
The 8.8mm x 10.8mm footprint and 1uA sleep current make it suitable for battery-operated health monitoring electronics.
Industrial IoT
Provides secure, long-range communication for remote monitoring sensors and fleet management systems.
