Insight SiP is a fabless electronics company specialising in the design and manufacture of ultra-miniature RF (radio frequency) modules using System-in-Package (SiP) technology. It uses SiP technology to integrate antennas and other electronic components into ultra-miniature modules. These modules enable wireless communication between connected objects for Internet of Things (IoT)-based applications.

Origins
Based in Sophia Antipolis, France, Insight SiP was founded in 2005 by Chris Barratt, Michel Beghin and Marc Vodovar Its group of microelectronic engineers made a bet on a then new technology called Systems-in-Package which enabled them to squeeze in several miniature electronic components into one module rather than developing a one-off, more complex type of Integrated Circuit known as a System on a chip. In 2019, Insight SiP employed 20 people and generated a turnover of €2.7 million of which 90% was in international non-French markets. Insight SIP is majority owned by its management and backed by angel investors and regional business development funds.

RF modules
Insight SiP is known for its ultra-miniature Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) RF modules, which have low power consumption and can be integrated into small IoT devices. It also provides “combo modules” which combine two radio technologies in one small package such as the ISP1507 RF module which features Bluetooth 5 Low Energy and NFC capabilities in a miniscule module (8 x 8 x 0.95 mm), a range launched in 2016. In 2018, Insight SiP launched its long range ISP1807 RF module using LoRa technology. It also introduced the ISP1510 RF module which combines Bluetooth 5 and Ultra-wideband (UWB) capabilities (9 x 16 x 1.9mm) and the ISP4520 RF modules which brings together Bluetooth 5 and LoRa technologies 9 x 17 x 1.5 mm.

In 2020, Insight SiP launched a module for positioning and ranging, the ISP3010 module incorporating BLE and UWB capabilities and integrated antennas.

Applications
Insight SiP’s ultra-miniature RF modules are at the core of hundreds of IoT-based applications and small connected objects which require wireless communication and low energy consumption. Applications include industrial applications. For example, those linked to sensors which track assets in warehouses or remote connected locking devices in buildings and vehicles. The modules are in connected medical laboratory equipment; connected biological sensors which monitor temperature, glucose levels or the health of pregnant women. Insight SiP’s RF modules can also be found in orthodontic devices; devices linked to sensors capturing environmental data; connected military equipment; toys, bicycles and leisure equipment.
