Santa Clara, Oct. 24, 2022: Everactive, the maker of category-defining batteryless Internet of Things (IoT) systems, is releasing its first development kit to allow third-party developers to build their own IoT products without the constraints of batteries. The company’s self-powered hardware and managed network are purpose-built to acquire and deliver the dense physical-world data that will usher in an age of hyper-scale IoT. Opening up that technology will allow IoT developers to easily build the scalable, sustainable, and data-rich products long demanded by their customers.
The development kit includes two of Everactive’s patented batteryless IoT devices, each with a comprehensive sensor suite that simultaneously measures temperature, humidity, pressure, and triaxial acceleration. Utilising a low-light indoor photovoltaic harvester as the sole power source, these devices can measure and wirelessly transmit data every 15 seconds. The ability to wirelessly deliver such robust data exclusively from harvested energy represents a significant breakthrough for designers and engineers whose IoT projects have struggled to scale. The development kit will allow developers to better understand and experiment with the power of energy-harvesting technology for IoT applications.
