Synzen Precision Technology, a developer of IoT antennas and modules, has announced the first in a series of free-to-download OS (open source) IoT (internet of things) designs. The company said the first of Synplicity series features a fully optimized solution suitable for direct integration into all LTE-M / NB-IoT projects and will be on show at this year’s embedded world show Nuremberg.
The solution includes full Altium design files and all required software and firmware, along with an environmental sensor measuring temperature, humidity, air quality, and air pressure.
The idea is that with this new development platform, users can easily create and deploy IoT projects without the need for extensive technical knowledge. The platform’s simplified integration ensures that users can get started quickly and efficiently. Synzen said that project design time can be measured in days, with prototypes ready after a few weeks, and production starting in a matter of months.
Operating as a reliable reference design with pre-determined antenna performance in a compact form factor, the Synplicity 1 is suitable for designers and developers looking to accelerate time-to-market for cellular IoT device deployment.  It is ideal for applications such as asset tracking, pet trackers, and fleet telematics solutions.
The Synplicity 1, the first of the series, is developed around the Nordic nRF9160 module, and the platform comes complete with Synzen’s newly developed LTE antenna, ATRIA, which is pre-certified to operate over the full LTE-M and NB-IoT bands with no additional multiband switching. The reference design also includes Synzen’s latest miniature antenna solutions: SIRIUSa for BLE, and SIRIUSb for GNSS.
Standard features of the platform include: 
Synzen Precision Technology said its end device pre-certified cellular solutions combine the latest in advanced antenna technology and leading low power cellular LTE-M and NB-IoT modules to provide a combination of cellular, BLE and GNSS performance in miniature form factors applicable to a wide range of IoT applications.
“Many of our customers had identified cellular IoT as a more reliable, higher quality service than existing LPWANs but were looking at ways to implement solutions quicker,” said Chris Tomlin, CTO at Synzen. “Given the constraints on size and performance, the breakthrough at Synzen was the development of ATRIA, our newest 4G SMD antenna solution, pre-certified, but more importantly offering a route to smaller LTE/NB IoT devices as it requires no multiband switching. This allowed us to free up significant board real estate compared to current solutions.”
“ATRIA was found to work extremely well with the Nordic nRF9160, and the selection of our latest BLE and GNSS antenna solutions helped create a complete, pre-certified solution, optimized for low power consumption over the full 4G band. This DVK is the first in a range of completely free, open-source downloads available.”
Synzen is in Hall 3, Booth 3-631 at embedded world on 9-11 April 2024.
