Compact, Low-Power, Chirp Radio and Sensor Module - Inpixon Swarm Chirp

Compact, Low-Power, Chirp Radio and Sensor Module - Inpixon Swarm Chirp

The Inpixon Swarm Chirp (formerly swarm bee LE V3 ) is a 2.4 GHz Chirp Spread Spectrum module, suitable for a variety of IoT implementations.

The small 22 x 23 mm form factor, low power consumption, long-range transceiver including embedded accelerometer and temperature sensors, along with a low external component requirement, make the Inpixon Swarm Chirp an ideal choice for personnel, equipment and asset tracking products, where indoor or outdoor location sensing is critical.

Relative position is derived via the module-to-module direct ranging feature, without the need for additional infrastructure. Tags based on the Inpixon Swarm Chirp when deployed with the nanoANQ anchors and IoT Platform, provide the most comprehensive Real Time Location System (RTLS) on the market today.

With a built in on-board microcontroller (MCU), a 2.4 GHz RF Chirp transceiver, 3D accelerometer and temperature sensors, and universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), the Inpixon Swarm Chirp module drastically cuts the time-to-market. Just add a battery, antenna and a housing, and it is market ready. It also comes with a complete API command set eliminating firmware implementation needs.

World's Smallest Monopole Antenna - Katana 2JW1683 - 2J Antennas

World's Smallest Monopole Antenna - Katana 2JW1683 - 2J Antennas

Katana is the world’s smallest monopole antenna designed for 5GNR applications enhancing mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC).

At only Ø 10 × 80 mm, the 2JW1683 antenna is designed with the new sub-6 GHz technology transmissions. This allows it to travel farther and penetrate solid objects such as buildings and busy urban areas making it ideal for access points and terminals.

It offers a modern and compact form factor that significantly reduces device size and integration complexities with a simple plug-and-play antenna solution while outperforming any competitor. Designed for mobile devices operating within 5GNR / 4GLTE / FirstNet / CBRS / LPWA / CAT-X / CAT-Mx / CAT-NBx / NB-IoT standards. The antenna also includes backward carrier compatibility with 3G / 2G mobile devices and offers the new extended LTE B71 at 600 MHz bands.

It is an omni-directional antenna that extends an uninterrupted 360° radiation pattern with extremely high connection reliability while maintaining stable efficiency peak gains across all bands. Combining performance, reliability, and flexibility into a super low profile form factor, makes this antenna the first choice for global broadband mobile applications.
