AMBER wireless GmbH has been part of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group for half a year and very successful since then. The company from Trier selectively pursues new product development for the application areas of Internet of Things, Monitoring and Control, as well as Automated Meter Reading. Both companies assess the takeover as a major success. The number of customer activities has developed dramatically since the merger and the wireless module specialist is looking to fill numerous new jobs for skilled workers.
The Trier manufacturer of wireless modules in various frequency ranges and standards attracts new customers, not only with standard solutions, such as Bluetooth Smart and Wireless M-Bus, but, above all, with its products in the field of proprietary wireless stacks. With these wireless solutions, customer profit from the possibility of exerting a greater influence on factors such as package size, energy consumption, range or eavesdropping through individually adapted firmware than is possible in standards like Bluetooth and Wireless M-Bus – added value through customized production. The research and development department at AMBER wireless is also working increasingly on the development of new wireless modules for WiFi and 4G/5G.
