Why use RFOS?

Module vs Custom? – RFOS: best of both worlds

Advantages of Module Advantages of Full Custom

• Easy and less costly to develop

• FCC certification is easy (or already done)

• Requires little knowledge of RF system

• Lower BoM cost • Optimize product for

cost, size, shape • Maximum performance

– radio, power • Fully integrated into

product design – lower component count, less PCB real estate
