Carota's one-stop FOTA (Firmware-over-the-air) solution effectively addresses the issue of firmware updates after chip shipment, enabling timely security patches and resolving potential vulnerabilities. Carota's excellent differential algorithm further enhances the performance of MediaTek's MT2625 chipset, contributing to its successful penetration into the European and Japanese markets, where it has received certification and adoption from major operators in these regions. 

NB-IoT is primarily designed for low-power, low-bandwidth, and low-cost applications, making it suitable for various IoT scenarios, including smart water/gas/electricity meters, smart home appliances, smart environmental protection, and electronic parking. Taking electronic parking as an example, roadside parking spaces no longer require manual ticket issuance. Instead, they can be equipped with geomagnetic modules to automatically sense parking duration and transmit data to servers and platforms for automated billing. Vehicle owners can simply open their mobile app and pay the parking fees directly. 

MediaTek's chip, combined with Carota's FOTA upgrade, provides a secure and reliable one-stop remote update, upgrade, repair, and data management service for IoT device manufacturers. This enables Murata's 1SS module to efficiently update IoT devices, manage device security and potential functional enhancements, significantly reducing maintenance costs. This strategic alliance is expected to not only dominate the Japanese market but also expand into other international markets in the near future. 

Murata General Manager Hiro Hyogo stated, "Murata developed the narrowband IoT cellular module "1SS module," measuring only 13.2mm x 10.6mm x 1.8mm, making it the world's smallest module. Its small size and low power consumption (3.5uA in power-saving mode) are perfectly suited for IoT devices powered by micro-batteries, enabling devices to achieve up to ten years of battery life." 

1SS module also supports OpenCPU solutions, enabling the module to serve as the main processor, directly utilizing the rich hardware interfaces within the module. This simplifies user development efforts, streamlines hardware and structural design, and meets customer requirements for size, cost, power consumption, and safety, making it ideal for new-generation ultra-small and ultra-low-power IoT terminal devices. 

1SS module adopts MediaTek's MT2625 chipset, which is mainly used in smart water/gas/electricity meters, home appliances, and vending machines in Japan. 

This collaboration between MediaTek, Carota, and Murata leverages their respective strengths to jointly address IoT applications, opening up vast market potential for IoT across the globe.
