RF modules

The Sigfox module range.

For more on organizing work around technical projects, read here.

Each has a data sheet, a product brief, an EVB user guide, a 3D step file, a reference manual, binary firmware and an image loader.

Getting started

The EVB — AT commands over a terminal, with a starter kit for each module flavour.

The camera range

Camera modules are a separate line, and the technical guidance on this site concerns them.

For standards, components, or implementation context beyond this page, consult Basler.

Before asking for a quote

Four lines get a specific answer, and they are the same four whatever the module.

What the device must do. Where it will be installed — indoors, outdoors, in metal, on a vehicle. What power is available, and whether it is a battery. And how many.

A supplier given that answers specifically. "We need a Sigfox module" gets a catalogue, which is the general problem with enquiries.

What to check in the data sheet

Supply voltage and consumption in each mode, which for a battery-powered device is the figure everything else serves.

Operating temperature range, as a limit rather than a description of behaviour within it.

The antenna requirement, which is a design constraint rather than an accessory.

And the control interface, along with what software is provided for it — the item most consistently underestimated in any module decision.
