Energy Friendly Radios

Energy Micro, the energy friendly microcontroller company, has announced it is to begin development of a companion range of low power RF transceiver products. Before founding Energy Micro in 2007, President and CEO Geir Førre led Chipcon’s development as Co-founder, President and CEO, from its origins in 1996 as a design house to becoming the market leader in low-power RF solutions 10 years later. Chipcon was acquired by Texas Instruments in January 2006.

What is EFR?

The EFR® family is a range of low power RF transceiver products covering multiple frequency bands and supporting both standard and proprietary wireless protocols.

Why EFR?

In line with its successful microcontroller design philosophy, Energy Micro is aiming to produce RF devices consuming a quarter of the energy of existing leading edge products. Initial market sector targets reflect the company’s existing microcontroller customer base and will include energy metering, home and building automation and alarm and security industries.

When can I get EFR?

A complete family of Energy Micro RF products is planned for launch early 2012.
