RF - Energy Micro to enter low power RF arena

Oslo, Norway - Energy Micro has announced plans to development a range of low power RF transceiver products consuming a quarter of the energy of existing leading edge products.

Energy Micro President and CEO Geir Frre commented, "In terms of energy consumption, RF products have simply not improved over the last five years. Sure, they've evolved to become better integrated and more sophisticated, but energy consumption has either stayed the same or gotten worse! Our aim is to maintain levels of integration and performance while achieving energy consumption figures four times lower than those offered today."

A complete family of Energy Micro RF products is planned for launch in 2011, covering multiple frequency bands and supporting both standard and proprietary wireless protocols. Initial market sector targets reflect the company's existing microcontroller customer base and will include energy metering, home and building automation and alarm and security industries.
