About Yole Group
For Low power devices such as wearables, medical, smart meter and asset tracker, RF components requires a specific design to provide M2M or M2X connectivity. Unlike consumer devices such as smartphones, these system uses narrow band in the LTE frequency band to provide long range communication at low consumption. With a lost in transmit data rate, the RF components are known to be low-cost devices.
This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data, manufacturing cost and selling price of the Sierra Wireless HL7810. The HL7810 module for Cat-M1/Cat-NB2 worldwide networks is fully compliant with the 3GPP Release 14 standard, providing a new low-cost, best-in-class power technology for low-bandwidth IoT applications with extended reach beyond traditional cellular. This study aims to provide an estimation of the final component price with a complete analysis of the FEM from Qorvo.
