Murata and 1GLOBAL formed an industry-changing collaboration when they joined forces in 2019 to lead innovation in eSIMs for Internet of Things (IoT) / Machine-to-Machine (M2M) devices.
Summarize this article with AI
Using technology from STMicroelectronics and 1GLOBAL, Murata built a low-power cellular module for the world of IoT/M2M devices. This technology had a wide range of IoT applications and delivered a small, low-power cellular module that reduced power consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered devices, lowering the cost of production, and freeing up space for device makers.
Seamless integration
The Murata module uses an ST33 M2M eSIM from ST, which offers a fully compliant GSMA solution for M2M remote SIM provisioning. The eSIM comes in a Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP), a tiny package that allows the module to be smaller, less obtrusive and better integrated into whatever environment it may be operating in. The module also contains an STM32L4 microcontroller that provides a handful of module-management functions, including the full NBIoT and CATM1 protocol stack.
Instant connectivity
For its part, 1GLOBAL enabled the module to connect out-of-the-box to low-power wide-area technologies in multiple countries using its industry-leading bootstrap connectivity technology. 1GLOBAL has also provided its GSMA-accredited M2M remote SIM provisioning system which, in combination with the bootstrap connectivity, allows the device to fetch a SIM profile from any other mobile operator for ongoing local connectivity.
One barrier to mass adoption of IoT has been the complexity device makers face in connecting their devices. This collaboration with Murata brought together all the elements, packaged together in a way that allowed device makers to get connected simply and efficiently. With 1GLOBAL’s global bootstrap connectivity and remote SIM provisioning, device makers could for the first time manufacture a single worldwide model type, and then configure the device over-the-air to allow it to connect locally, wherever it is unboxed."
The world of IoT devices is broad and complex, and especially so for narrow-band technologies. With this module, and the integration of technology from 1GLOBAL and ST, we simplified the supply chain for everyone in the IoT market who wanted powerful connectivity, cost saving hardware and a geographical footprint to keep up with their business.”
