Murata has added a 402-405 MHz frequency band radio module to its family of  Type 1RM Medical Implant Communication System (MICS) band radio modules.

The LBAA0PC1RMH298 module supports a 128 kbps data rate and can cover a communication range of up to 2m.

The device is designed for use in body-worn and implantable monitoring/diagnostic devices, with the capacity to address even the most data-intensive of operational requirements. Typical applications include insulin, drug, and baclofen pumps, as well as arrhythmia and bladder monitors.

Measuring 8.6 x 5.6 x 1.7 mm, this module is one of the smallest and most highly integrated solutions currently on the market.

It leverages Murata’s proprietary wireless technology, which bundles all the key constituent active and passive components into a single miniaturised package.

In addition to its elevated performance, the resultant module has a very low power budget with a sleep state current consumption of just 0.2 µA.
