Exhibiting Wi-Fi HaLow products and presenting at a seminar at Wireless Japan 2025.

Long-distance wireless communication IEEE 802.11ah is finally permitted in Japan; a new wireless network expands with IEEE 802.11ah.

The SX-SDMAH-R2(JP) is an IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow wireless module that uses the MM6108 from Morse Micro and supports SDIO/SPI host interfaces. It significantly reduces power consumption in low-power mode for battery-operated IoT devices and operates in host mode driven by a CPU or microcontroller via SDIO or SPI. By supporting SDIO, it simplifies the reuse of design assets from embedded Linux systems that have previously used SDIO-compatible Wi-Fi modules. Additionally, by also supporting the SPI host interface, it enables implementation in embedded devices using microcontrollers that do not have SDIO, facilitating the development of smaller IoT devices.

The first domestically produced 11ah compatible wireless bridge "EX-150AH" can extend the communication range of Wi-Fi devices up to 1 km.

The EX-150AH(JP) is a wireless bridge that utilizes the long-range communication standard IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) to extend the communication distance of existing Wi-Fi devices operating on the 2.4GHz/5GHz bands up to 1km. By supporting Wi-Fi 6, it allows easy connection of Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to the EX-150AH(JP) without the need for a separate relay device, enabling straightforward access to a long-range communication network using the 802.11ah access point. Additionally, the EX-150AH(JP) features a USB Type-C port for power input, allowing it to be powered by USB Type-C compatible mobile devices or portable batteries.

• Wireless LAN

11ah compatible wireless access point, covering a radius of 1 km with a single access point.

This product is an access point compatible with IEEE 802.11ah, covering a radius of 1 km and supporting up to 675 clients. By using it in conjunction with the wireless LAN bridge (client) BR-100AH(JP), you can easily integrate or newly establish a long-distance wireless LAN network using the 920 MHz band into existing infrastructure.

• Wireless LAN

11ah compatible wired - wireless LAN bridge allows for a wider and more flexible installation and use of wireless devices in vast factories and suburban areas than before.

This is a wired LAN - wireless LAN bridge compatible with IEEE 802.11ah. IEEE 802.11ah is a long-range wireless LAN standard that uses 920MHz band radio waves to achieve a communication distance of 1km and supports IP communication. By simply connecting the BR-100AH(JP) to a wired LAN device, you can easily participate in an IEEE 802.11ah wireless LAN environment. It supports the construction of a more flexible wireless LAN environment in vast areas such as large factories and outdoor spaces, where communication has been difficult with conventional wireless LANs.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.

[Speaker] Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Research Institute, Technology and Innovation Information Department Senior Project Manager, Zhao Jian [Key Lecture Content] Low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) lithium-ion batteries are expanding their adoption worldwide. To prepare for future mass emissions, promoting their recycling is essential. However, due to the low material value of LFP batteries, ensuring the profitability of recycling operations has become a challenge. In pursuit of profitability, Chinese companies are seeking economies of scale and integrating battery material manufacturing, while in Europe and other regions, there is a focus on developing high-efficiency and high-purity recovery technologies such as direct recycling. This lecture will explain the current status, challenges, latest trends in technology development, and the impact on the battery supply chain regarding LFP battery recycling. [Lecture Items] 1.
