Rohm begins Internet sales of general-purpose Wi-SUN module
Flying well in energy saving, rapid spread of next-generation wireless communication
January 7, 2015
<Abstract>
Rohm Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kyoto City) is a general-purpose wireless communication module
"Wireless Smart Utility Network" compliant with the international wireless communication standard
"Wi-SUN" (Wireless Smart Utility Network) that is ideal for constructing a smart community
including M2M, IoT, BP35A1 "mass production and Internet sales began.
Since "BP 35 A 1" began sample shipping from April 2014, it has received radio wave law certification
and has optimum firmware for HEMS, and it has been well received as it can easily realize Wi-SUN
communication to any device It is.
We are now ready for the establishment of a mass production line with a scale of 30,000 pieces per
month and documentation and firmware necessary for Internet sales.
In response to this, from January 2015, we will start selling the Internet on the Wi-SUN module (standard retail price: 7,500
yen / piece) and various evaluation boards with three companies, Earls Components, chip one stop and core staff . Internet
sales of general-purpose Wi-SUN module will be the first industry the industry . And all the information necessary for
realizing Wi - SUN communication with BP35A1 is completed on the homepage, anyone can easily use Wi - SUN.
ROHM will continue to develop wireless communication modules that enable anyone to easily establish communication
environments for smart communities, M2M, and IoT markets.

<Background>
In recent years, consciousness of energy conservation has been increasing in all fields, and in order to use various infrastructure
efficiently, a smart community that utilizes a monitoring, control and management system has attracted attention.
Under these circumstances, promotion of "Wi-SUN" is being promoted as an international wireless communication standard
most suitable for constructing a smart community.
In Japan, Wi-SUN is equivalent to 920 MHz band called a specific low power radio, and because of its advantages of low power
consumption and long communication distance compared with wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Smart-Meter and Transport Infrastructure
Smart Besides the community, it is regarded as most suitable for the M2M and IoT markets. Scenes where Wi - SUN can play
an active role, such as decision of adoption of electric power company 's Wi - SUN and' large - scale HEMS infrastructure
development project 'promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, are increasing, and expectations are increasing
for future popularization.
ROHM pioneered the development of the Wi-SUN module with Wi-SUN Alliance certified product, a group company Lapis
Semiconductor's wireless communication LSI "ML 7396B", against the movement of these markets across the entire industry I
am going.
