Small, versatile and Kineis pre-certified
The Arribada Argos SMD module is a compact, high-performance PCB designed to facilitate satellite uplink communication for a wide range of applications.
With its small footprint and versatile integration options, this module can stand alone or be a co-processor for designs requiring satellite connectivity.
Built on the STM32WL55 processor and equipped with the GR5504 power amplifier, the module delivers up to 26 dBm transmission power and is pre-certified by CLS, ensuring immediate deployment readiness. The power supply for the Power Amplifier (PA) is externalized on the Wings-SMD, the Wings-SMD is fully certified. Pre-certified means that the user can obtain a certified device using the same LDO (or product family, TPS63901) simply by recording the uplink communication with the help of Adalm-PLUTO and CLS Emulsat software and forward the result to CLS.
