The number of connected devices in homes, factories, and cities is increasing year over year. According to ABI Research, IoT products such as smart doorbells, security cameras, water sensors, and asset trackers are expected to grow at double-digit annual rates through 2028.

This growth covers a wide range of wireless standards and applications, each with its own modulation and coding schemes, frequency spectrum, and current consumption requirements. Personal-area-network protocols such as Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) reside at the low-range, low-data rate end while wide-area protocols such as 5G and LTE sit at the other end, covering kilometers of range at gigabit speeds.
