Cambridge firm designs smallest wireless IoT module

Amiho Technology has designed one of the industry’s smallest wireless modules for connecting smart meters and internet of things (IoT) devices.

Amiho AM090 module

The module’s 15x15mm size means it can be placed very close to small sensors in meters and other IoT devices.

The AM090 module uses a Freescale Kinetis microcontroller running at 868MHz and it is fully compliant with the European standards (EN13757).

The Cambridge-based developer has also created an optimised smart metering software stack for the module, which can also be licensed as a stand-alone product for integration into other designs and is currently being used in smart metering trials in Europe.

The company has also secured a design for the module in a smart home gateway device being developed by Develco Products.

David Blumstein, managing director and co-founder of Amiho Technology, said,

“We are delighted that the Wireless M-Bus technology has also been integrated into Develco’s multiprotocol Squid.link gateway, a low-cost modular platform for flexible Smart Home networks. This demonstrates a further adoption of our new products into IoT applications.

As this market accelerates, we expect our range of ultra-compact communication modules to be used in many innovative solutions.”
