Development of ZigBee®RF4CE Compatible RF Module FD0001 with a Built-in 2.4GHz Band Antenna for Remote Control Unit

We are pleased to announce the development and release of a low power and small-type RF module with a built-in 2.4GHz band antenna.

In recent years, it has become possible to send and receive large amounts of data due to the increased functionality of equipment and there are now increased needs for an RF module that realizes omni-directional operation without having to point the remote control unit at equipment.

This product halves the amount of electric current currently used to send and receive data while maintaining the same functionality as our previous "FD7003" RF module. In addition, it is 15% smaller than our previous models.

By adding this product to our lineup, we aim to expand our remote control business by meeting wide-ranging needs not only for consumer devices, such as AV equipment, but also for new business including HEMS.

This product was exhibited at our "TEXPO 2012" technical exhibition held at Shinagawa Goos from 6th to 8th June this year.
