Introduction
The IoT presents a different set of communications challenges to those faced by the conventional internet or cellular networks. Unlike cellphones and computers, IoT devices do not need to transfer large amounts of data. However, requirements for battery life and hardware cost are much more stringent and difficult to meet. For example, a soil moisture sensor might send a single moisture reading – one number – every hour. But to be practical for the farmer the batteries in the sensor need to last for at least one growing season, and ideally several years.
SIGFOX networks provide a simplified way to connect low energy isolated devices to customer ’ s applications on wide territories, through a high efficiency radio technology with extreme budget links despite low radiations and at very low costs. Customers can then build their applications without any concern of the heavy radio network problematic and management, and, almost, no concern of the radio communication aspects.
The SN10-12 is a transceiver module which complies with SIGFOX network specifications. The
SN10-12 is based on NXP OL2385 chip which is a Sub-GHz wireless SoC transceiver. The SN10-12 module provides a wide range of frequency selections for IoT applications network service platform.

Appendix
6.1 SW User Guide information.
The SIGFOX software driver supports MCUs. These MCUs are a subset of the MCUs supported by the Kinetis Software Development Kit (KSDK) layer.
This SW driver is built on the Analog Middleware Layer (AML), which creates an
API abstraction layer for the desired Software Development Kit (SDK).
The current implementation includes abstractions for KSDK 2.0 and S32 SDK. This allows support to be added for additional layers, such as the KSDK, without having to change the SIGFOX Software Driver itself.
The detail Commend and SPI please read the web link as below.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
-
- television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. -
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance
20cm between the radiator & your body.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
3) Module approval valid only when the module is installed in the tested host or compatible series of host which have similar RF exposure characteristic with equal or larger antenna separation distance.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID:YAISN10-12”.
The grantee's FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
