The BSM8001-01, made by ESMT, is a Sigfox verified modem module for the low power wide area network (LPWAN) market. It is designed with ESMT ’s Uplynx XS8001 system-on-chip (SoC). The module was designed for high performance, high quality, small form factor and a low cost. The design is fully compliant to ETSI regulations.

The Sigfox application is ported over the Uplynx XS8001 and executed at high efficiency using its internal 32-bit core processor. Every module is preloaded with Sigfox application software and module-specific ID/KEY/PAC as specified by the Sigfox network system. The preloaded software also includes a bootloader which allows software updates or future user application development.
