SMK Develops a Miniature Thread–compliant
Low Power RF Module with Built-in Antenna

  SMK Corporation has developed a miniature thread-compliant low power RF module with built-in antenna.
  By promoting this product, SMK intends to contribute to the growth of “Internet of Things” (IoT) and “Machine to Machine” (M2M) in the home network and industry fields such as temperature control, energy management, lighting, safety, security, etc.

Note 1) “Thread” is a new networking protocol for home automation
            created by the Thread Group.
Note 2) “M2M” refers to communication between devices.

【Product Features】
1. Supports the “Thread” networking protocol

SMK’s module has excellent power saving performance and support for IPv6, both of which are features of “Thread”, enabling seamless internet/LAN communication.

2. Multiple interfaces

A variety of interface terminal shapes (GPIO/UART/SPI/I2C) are available, enabling easy connection to home network devices and industrial equipment.

3. Contributes to reduced man-hours

Acquiring “Japan Radio Law Certification” allows customers to reduce development costs and production time.

【Applications】
Home network devices, industrial equipment
