Murata to showcase indoor asset tracking and connectivity
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will showcase a wide range of indoor assets tracking and connectivity products at Embedded World 2025, including how the module Type 1WL EVK and smart badges can be used for tracking indoor assets and people.
Real-time tracking capabilities that combine high accuracy, reliability and low-latency for the best user experience will also be demonstrated. This indoor asset tracking capability uses Bluetooth LE and LoRaWAN connectivity. Typical applications include worker safety in the construction industry for worker safety, inventory and event management as well as retail, hazardous zones or restricted areas by providing real-time access notifications.
Murata will also show a satellite-enabled transceiver and antenna created via a strategic partnership with EchoStar Mobile, an EchoStar company, to enable satellite IoT connectivity for the European and North American markets. Designed for industries such as agriculture, smart metering, and asset tracking, the satellite-enabled transceiver and antenna offer real-time, reliable, low-power connectivity.
The product combines carrier-grade S-band uplink connectivity from EchoStar Mobile with a Murata Type 2PT LoRa® connectivity module designed for long battery life and high-grade, circularly polarised antenna technology developed by KYOCERA AVX. Together, these components provide a compact hardware footprint, superior connectivity, power efficiency, and accessible pricing.
Compliant with Sub-1 GHz (S1G) Wi-Fi standards across key regions, two ultra-low power Wi-Fi HaLow™ modules (LBWA0ZZ2HK and LBWA0ZZ2HL) that achieve high-speed communication over distances of more than 1km. The compact modules support high power at +23 dBm (Type 2HK) and low power at +13 dBm (Type 2HL) smart IoT applications. They can be used in consumer smart devices, such as connected smart homes and accessories, as well as for business and industrial applications, including access control, smart energy, building automation, security cameras, infrastructure management, and medical devices.
At Embedded World, Murata will showcase their iSIM hardware and products from the recently announced ZENCROSS Alliance. Murata has merged its low-power hardware with cellular connectivity, cloud services, and IoT device security from AERIS COMMUNICATIONS, a key member of ZENCROSS Alliance.
ZENCROSS aims to ease the burden and costs of managing distributed IoT applications worldwide. The Murata-led ZENCROSS Alliance aims to deliver physical modules combined with services. Together, Aeris and Murata have so far enabled Aeris IoT Watchtower as part of the services offered under the ZENCROSS Alliance. Aeris IoT Watchtower combines zero trust security, malware protection and anomaly detection in a zero-touch solution, bringing modern IT security capabilities to the specialized environment of IoT with operational simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
Other demonstrations such as water saving, sanitising and monitoring, smart technology, and IoT will also be shown.
