Additionally, such modules require new material developments with a super low coefficient of thermal expansion similar to silicon to ensure best in class reliability and manufacturability of the module. All these show the excellent technology development of AT&amp;S in terms of miniaturisation and modularisation and gives us confidence that we are well prepared for future requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire Bluetooth module is the size of a grain of rice and includes more than 20 components including resistors, inductors and a communication chip. The module could be used for wireless earphones, smart lighting, hearing aids or continuous glucose monitoring, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am proud that one of our interconnection innovations helped to realise this benchmark product from LG Innotek,\u201d said AT&amp;S CEO Andreas Gerstenmayer. \u201cThis is another proof for the innovation capacity of AT&amp;S and the dedication our team is working on next generation interconnection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AT&amp;S is a manufacturer of high-end printed circuit boards and IC substrates. It industrialises technologies for its core business segments of mobile devices and substrates, automotive, industrial and medical. The company has production sites in Austria (Leoben and Fehring) and plants in India (Nanjangud), China (Shanghai and Chongqing) and South Korea (Ansan near Seoul). The company employs roughly 10,000 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26710,"featured_media":7961,"template":"","news-category":[62],"library-tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LG develops world\u2019s smallest Bluetooth IoT module - IoT M2M Council<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iotm2mcouncil.org\/iot-library\/news\/iot-newsdesk\/lg-develops-worlds-smallest-bluetooth-iot-module\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LG develops world\u2019s smallest Bluetooth IoT module - IoT M2M Council\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"South Korean high-tech company LG Innotek has developed what it claims is the world\u2019s smallest Bluetooth module for communications and IoT applications.
