The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a macro trend that is presently disrupting the global electronic industry. Tremendous growth is forecast in the areas of sensing, measurement and the interpretation of data, before transferring to the Cloud for analysis. This exponential increase in wireless-sensor traffic, coupled with increasingly harsh environments in which sensor networks operate around the globe, is driving the need for a new class of wireless transceivers that can offer a significant improvement in key performance metrics such as co-existence, radio-frequency (RF) emissions, link-margin and interference resilience, while also maximizing battery lifetime. Moreover, the multiplicity of use-cases and modes of operation called out in wireless connectivity standards such as IEEE 802.15.4g, WMBUS (Modes N/S/T/C/F/R), and in many proprietary connectivity standards is demanding more highly integrated system solutions.
