Proprietary wireless protocols

Optimize your own stack to meet your requirements and enable lowest power and longest range connectivity

What are proprietary protocols?

For decades, our Sub-1 GHz radios have enabled proprietary wireless solutions. Customers optimize proprietary solutions for high performance, in terms of range and power, without increased cost and memory. Designers leverage this flexibility to meet their requirements in a range of applications. Our portfolio meets regulatory compliance in a variety of geographies and applications demonstrated by existing product deployments.

Why TI for proprietary?
