Insights
Silicon Labs' new FG23L SoC strengthens its IoT portfolio with industry-leading price-performance for Sub-GHz applications, positioning it for growth in cost-sensitive markets.
Silicon Labs' announcement of the FG23L wireless SoC represents a strategic expansion of their Series 2 portfolio into more cost-sensitive market segments. The company is leveraging its established expertise in Sub-GHz connectivity while addressing a critical market need for affordable long-range IoT solutions.
The technical specifications are impressive for a cost-optimized solution. With a link budget of ~146 dB and +20 dBm transmit power, the FG23L offers approximately double the range of competing devices while maintaining power efficiency sufficient for 10+ years of battery life. This performance-to-price ratio positions Silicon Labs favorably against competitors who typically force trade-offs between range, security, and efficiency.
The integration of a 78 MHz Cortex-M33 core with Secure Vault™ Mid security addresses the growing concern about IoT device vulnerability while maintaining competitive pricing. This security integration is particularly valuable as it eliminates the need for separate security components, reducing both BOM costs and design complexity.
Market timing appears strategic, targeting growth segments including industrial automation, smart cities, building automation, agricultural IoT, and electronic shelf labels. The emphasis on migration paths to higher-tier products suggests a deliberate ecosystem strategy to capture customers at lower price points and potentially migrate them to more profitable product lines as their needs evolve.
From a competitive standpoint, this launch strengthens Silicon Labs' position in price-sensitive IoT applications where they previously may have been less competitive, while still maintaining their technological differentiation in wireless performance.
"The FG23L extends Silicon Labs' proven Sub-GHz leadership into the high-volume, cost-sensitive segment of the market," said Ross Sabolcik, Senior Vice President of IoT Products at Silicon Labs. "By delivering the best-in-class combination of range, efficiency, and security at the industry's most competitive price-performance, we're enabling customers to bring more connected devices to market faster and at lower cost than ever before."
Extending Silicon Labs' Leadership in Sub-GHz IoT Connectivity
As demand grows for long-range, cost-optimized wireless IoT solutions in industrial automation, smart cities, and building automation, the FG23L is purpose-built to help customers meet these needs with higher performance and lower system cost. Where competitive offerings often force tradeoffs between range, security, or efficiency, the FG23L delivers on all three.
With a best-in-class link budget of ~146 dB, the FG23L provides up to twice the range of comparable devices. Its combination of +20 dBm transmit power, high receiver sensitivity, and ultra-low power consumption enables reliable connectivity and over 10 years of battery life—critical for large-scale IoT deployments where device longevity and total cost of ownership matter most.
Delivering the Industry's Best Value for Secure, Long-Range IoT
The FG23L integrates a 78 MHz Cortex-M33 core, dual-core wireless architecture, and Secure Vault™ Mid security to deliver advanced compute performance, robust connectivity, and protection against evolving security threats. Developers benefit from a rich peripheral set, 23 GPIOs, and streamlined design tools, including Simplicity Studio 5 and the Radio Configurator, which accelerate development and reduce complexity across global Sub-GHz bands.
This unique combination of performance, energy efficiency, and affordability gives customers the ability to scale IoT deployments faster and more cost-effectively. From industrial sensors, building automation, and smart city infrastructure to agricultural IoT and electronic shelf labels (ESLs), the FG23L empowers manufacturers to design connected products that compete more effectively in cost-sensitive markets.
Developers also have a seamless migration path from FG23L to FG23 and other Sub-GHz parts from Silicon Labs in case they are looking for more memory, more features, higher performance, or lower power.
