= Insight SiP = Insight SiP is an electronics company specialising in the design and manufacture of ultra-miniature RF (radio frequency) circuits using System-in-Package (SiP) technology. It uses SiP technology to integrate antennas and other electronic components into ultra-miniature modules. With their ability to substantially reduce the size of components and their low power consumption, these RF circuits 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 focused on an emerging technology called System-in-Package. This technology allowed the engineers to integrate several miniature components into one component 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 owned by management, angel investor Sophia Business Angels and the regional business development fund PACA Investissement. In 2018, investment fund 2C Invest acquired 18.6% of the shares in the company.

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). In 2018, Insight SiP launched a long-range RF module using LoRa technology. It also introduced an RF module which combines Bluetooth 5 and Ultra-wideband (UWB) capabilities.

In 2020, Insight SiP released 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 many IoT-based applications and small connected objects which require wireless communication and low energy consumption. Applications include ones in the industrial, healthcare, environmental, military and leisure sectors.
