TAIYO YUDEN Approximately Triples the Communications Range of Bluetooth® 5 Compatible Wireless Communications ModuleTOKYO, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. announced the launch of the new Bluetooth®*1 5 compatible wireless communications module, EYSKDNZWB (9.6×12.9×1.4 mm). This product is best suited for outdoor-use security devices, IoT devices used in large factories, and IoT-related devices that require long-distance communications capability such as physical distribution terminals. EYSKDNZWB can support a communication range that is three times*2 as long as our existing product EYSKBNZWB (15.4×10.0×2.0 mm), which supports the long-range function newly added in Bluetooth® 5, by combining our proprietary advanced antenna technology, small-devices design technique, and high-density design technique. EYSKDNZWB will also be introduced at MWC19 Los Angeles from October 22-24, 2019 at Los Angeles Convention Center in TAIYO YUDEN (U.S.A.)'s exhibition booth #3051. Mass production of the products will commence in November 2019, with a sample price of 3,000 yen per unit*3. Technology Background The newly launched EYSKDNZWB is approximately three times longer than the existing EYSKBNZWB in the wireless communications range, with the same power consumption maintained, but made approximately 40% smaller by combining TAIYO YUDEN's proprietary advanced antenna technology, small-devices design technique, and high-density design technique. This product will contribute to expanding communication range with the benefit of Bluetooth® 5 low power consumption, which will allow IoT devices to be implemented in sensor networks in large areas such as factories. TAIYO YUDEN will continue to develop more multifunctional and reliable products to expand its product lineup in response to market needs. *1 The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and the use of such marks by TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. is under license.
