Skyworks Solutions' Stefan Fulga, director of marketing for IoT products, shows off the company's SKY66431, a multiband, multichip system-in-package (SiP) supporting 5G massive IoT (LTE-M/NB-IoT) platforms. The SiP integrates the entire RF front end, transceiver, power management, memory, crystals, and baseband modem for an LTE multiband radio operating in the 698- to 2200-MHz frequency range. NOR flash, and a few passives external to the package, complete the SiP implementation.

We also get a preview of an initial application for the SKY66431: a reference design for a small-cell front end.
