With the advent of the Internet of Things era, the wireless module market is expected to become a growth market with sustainable growth in demand. In particular, the small low-power Bluetooth and wireless LAN modules purchased by Kaga Electronics from Taiyo Yuden will become the most favored and most promising products for major global customers engaged in the development of IoT products in the fields of communication equipment and consumer electronics.
Since its predecessor, Fujitsu Electronics, Kaga Electronics, as a core trading company within the group, not only has its own internal engineering technology department, but also has been engaged in the entrusted development and manufacturing of LSI and other customized products. In addition, the company also has a wide range of software and hardware development records in the wireless business, such as the use of mesh networking technology to develop specific low-power wireless modules. In addition to applying these technologies to devices that provide critical performance, Kaga Electronics also aims to expand its IoT solution business through a wide range of proposal capabilities, ranging from the previous network/cloud, software development and radio type certification to Including EMS (Electronic equipment development and production outsourcing services).
Since Kaga Electronics joined the Kaga Group in January 2019, based on the recognition that improving profitability is an important management issue, it has been actively promoting business restructuring, including new supplier acquisition and EMS service proposals. The acquisition of the wireless module business is also part of the plan.
In addition, through this business acquisition, Taiyo Yuden’s small, high-density installation technology is added to the Kaga Group’s EMS business, allowing Kaga Electronics to provide customers with a wider range of recommendations. In the future, the group aims to further improve the competitiveness and added value of the business by incorporating the production of newly developed products into the group.
The small wireless module acquired by Kaga Electronics under this agreement has the following advantages:
1) Ultra-small Bluetooth low energy module. Built-in antenna, suitable for wearable devices and other devices requiring small size.
2) Software embedding. The software can be embedded in some Bluetooth modules.
3) Rich product series. The product series include various combinations with Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy/Wireless LAN/Wireless LAN+Bluetooth functions, and a wide range of products have been prepared to meet diverse customer needs.
