The partnership between Kinéis and Hortus Technologies is crucial to meet customer needs for autonomous and reliable connectivity in areas where LPWAN connections are limited or nonexistent.
Kinéis and Hortus Technologies also demonstrate the ability to address more complex use cases that require handling terrestrial, maritime, indoor, and outdoor scenarios with an available technical solution that combines the necessary service quality and the appropriate energy aspect of the solution, enabling the development of autonomous products.
Kinéis and Hortus Technologies have initiated a successful collaboration on multiple fronts.
From the early stages of development, Hortus Technologies actively participated in integrating the Kinéis stack, conducting communication and temperature tests for the STM32WL55 solution, as well as design reviews.
Furthermore, Hortus Technologies developed the production test bench for the new KIM2 module.
In terms of development, Hortus Technologies designed an RF module for a customer incorporating the STM32WL55 Kinéis/ST Microelectronics solution. They also provide technical support, working closely with Kinéis, to assist customers in making solution choices, including considerations such as antenna design and RF performance testing.
