What is the SmartSat program?
Last updated on January 6th, 2023
Kinéis is proud to announce that it has joined STMicroelectronics Partner Program to make its satellite connectivity available to all. Thanks to Kinéis’ software stack, ST’s existing STM32WL microcontrollers will become compatible with the Kinéis system, reducing development cycles for new Kinéis-ready hardware developments.
STM32WL is a wireless MCU integrating a sub-Giga radiofrequency transceiver; it allows application code as well as the Kinéis software stack to be embedded on the same single component. Kineis’ software stack consists of an easy-to-use pre-compiled code library that generates Kinéis modulations and communicates with its satellites. This wireless microcontroller offers the perfect solution for a first demonstration of the integration of the Kinéis technology into an off-the-shelf component. This will help and accelerate new product development for device manufacturers in our ecosystem and possibly enable product retrofit.
With the STM32 Evaluation Kit (NUCLEO-WL55JC2) Kinéis launches a new discovery program: the Smartsat program.

This new plan is a simple way to try out the connectivity by using a well-known component frequently used for IoT connectivity integration along with the Kinéis stack developed by the Kinéis team.
