Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has partnered with Autotalks to introduce innovative V2X communication technology, enhancing automated mobility and safety. The new wireless module solution supports direct vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, utilizing Autotalks’ CRATON2 and SECTON chipsets. The modules can operate with both DSRC and C-V2X standards, allowing adaptability across geographic regions with reduced engineering costs. Murata's solutions have already been selected by a major vehicle manufacturer, with initial integrations expected by early 2024, potentially improving road safety and traffic flow.

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has launched the BLM21HE series of chip ferrite beads, enhancing noise suppression technology for vehicles. These components offer high impedance (up to 850Ω at 1GHz), crucial for next-gen designs where high-current power lines interact with high-frequency communications. They are vital for applications like wireless battery management systems and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The BLM21HE series operates from -55°C to +150°C and minimizes power loss, thereby improving efficiency and reducing thermal management needs.

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Tokyo:6981) has launched an innovative three-in-one soil sensor designed for sustainable agriculture. This advanced sensor measures electrical conductivity (EC), water content, and temperature simultaneously, allowing farmers to optimize yields while conserving resources like water and fertilizers. With a grid of 9 sensitive electrodes, the sensor ensures accurate EC readings unaffected by soil moisture. The robust design supports harsh environments and offers multi-interface compatibility, enhancing its effectiveness in agricultural management.

Murata Manufacturing has announced a co-development with Michelin of a new passive RFID module embedded in tires.
