Powering the search for sustainability through smart infrastructure and logistics, smart industry and smart living, STMicroelectronics has released the STM32WLE5 LoRa system-on-chip (SoC) for connecting smart devices to the Internet of Things (IoT) using long-distance wireless connections.

The SoC lets product developers create devices such as remote environmental sensors, meters, trackers and process controllers that help efficiently manage energy and resources. It combines ST’s skills in ultralow-power STM32 microcontroller design with a LoRa-compliant radio in one single-die and easy-to-use device.

In addition to the embedded LoRa modulation, the product is also capable of (G)FSK, (G)MSK and BPSK modulation, thus allowing various alternative protocols. Moreover, high RF performance with low power consumption is designed to ensure ongoing wireless connectivity and extend the runtime of battery-powered devices.

By leveraging the STM32 MCU architecture, developers can easily introduce wireless connectivity in existing embedded designs by porting to the STM32WLE5. ST’s LoRaWAN software for wireless network communications has passed all regional certifications for use worldwide.

The product is available in a 5 x 5 mm UFBGA73 package. It is fully integrated into the STM32 ecosystem, including STM32Cube software support, as well as a LoRaWAN stack certified for all regions and available in source-code format.
