InnoPhase IoT Enables End-to-end Sensor to Cloud IoT Solutions with Multi-Year Battery Life

InnoPhase IoT, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company specializing in ultra-low power Wi-Fi IoT solutions, announced multiple end-to-end (E2E) sensor to cloud customer solutions based on its Talaria TWO Wi-Fi/BLE SoC and modules. The solutions accelerate the transition to battery powered cloud connected IoT market applications. By delivering an approximately 10+ year battery-operated sensor solution featuring a lower power consumption Wi-Fi module and optimized cloud connectivity reference software, InnoPhase IoT is fueling rapid growth of IoT designs.

Multi-protocol Wi-Fi/BLE support from Talaria TWO enables both direct-to-cloud low-power Wi-Fi sensor connectivity without the need for an intermediate gateway and a cloud connectivity gateway solution for legacy BLE-based IoT sensor applications. E2E capabilities allow Wi-Fi and BLE IoT devices to be easily managed and monitored via cloud software.

The battery-operated sensor solution delivers rapid time to market, cloud connectivity, low power, and low total cost of ownership for broad-based applications such as smart home and factory automation, commercial building management, access and air quality monitoring, smart retail, industrial IoT, smart healthcare and pet and people tracking, and more.

“Our end customer was looking for seven plus years of battery life for a temperature probe and a cloud connectivity gateway solution for a remote temperature monitoring IoT application. We selected InnoPhase IoT’s ultra-low power Talaria TWO Wi-Fi solution and its market-ready cloud connectivity reference software to meet our design targets and time to market needs,” said Dave Pulvermacher, COO at Matrix Product Development, a developer of IoT devices.

According to Adam Zilberbaum, CEO at Sunsa Homes, a manufacturer of the Sunsa Wand that delivers retrofit window blind automation, “We’ve incorporated the InnoPhase IoT Wi-Fi sensor solution into our battery-powered Sunsa Wand to allow customers to control their window blinds from anywhere using iPhone and Android apps. In addition, light and temperature sensors can trigger the opening and closing of blinds based on temperature and comfort preferences. It was important that we connect directly to Wi-Fi without using a hub.”

Prabhakar Annavi, CEO at IoT solutions and product development provider Eoxys said, “We’ve incorporated the InnoPhase IoT’s Talaria TWO Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module in our BLE Beacon Gateway connectivity solution. Our gateway interfaces with Bluetooth enable IoT devices on one end while providing Wi-Fi connectivity to the cloud. The InnoPhase IoT solution was easy to productize and is working out well for us and our end customers.”

According to Steve Chan, GM at Embux Technology, “We are seeing a transition to direct-to-cloud Wi-Fi connectivity for sensor applications in the industrial IoT, smart home and building markets. InnoPhase IoT’s Talaria TWO Wi-Fi module helps us meet the needs for long battery life, cloud connected sensors working in conjunction with our industrial access points and gateways.”

The InnoPhase IoT sensor-to-cloud solution is currently available. A reference design is ready for evaluation and OEM solutions are available for a fast time to market and high-volume production.

InnoPhase IoT will demonstrate its technology at the IoT Tech Expo in Santa Clara, California May 17-18, in booth 260 and at Sensors Converge in Santa Clara, California, June 20-22.

UST and Barbara Join Forces to Deploy AI across Edge Infrastructure

UST | September 15, 2023

UST strives to provide comprehensive digital solutions with enhanced customization and support capabilities. Currently, 90% of the data generated at edge data cannot be processed seamlessly in real-time, thereby diminishing its value. The agreement equips Barbara for long-term success by collaborating with UST to tackle the challenges of digital transformation while building a robust partner ecosystem. UST, a prominent company for digital transformation solutions, has entered into a partnership with Barbara to facilitate private, secure, real-time digital transformation by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. Together, UST and Barbara will be able to leverage data generated at the 'Edge' by various IoT devices, industrial facilities, and equipment machinery. Currently, 90% of this data cannot be processed seamlessly in real-time, devaluing it. This collaboration will enable UST to provide customers with access to a premier orchestration platform capable of deploying, monitoring, and maintaining applications, devices, and AI at the edge at scale. AI at the edge refers to the deployment of artificial intelligence in an edge computing environment, where computation takes place closer to the source than in a central cloud facility or isolated data center. Head of Smart Data & AI, Spain and South America at UST, Ignacio Marrero, stated, For UST, this agreement will allow us to expand our capacity to develop AI solutions while also extending reach to devices on the edge. By collaborating with Barbara, we will be able to deploy our agile strategy for the training and deployment of AI models. [Source: Cision PR Newswire] The focus of this partnership lies in efficiently processing data generated at the 'Edge' through numerous IoT devices, industrial plants, and equipment machines. Currently, a significant portion of this data cannot be processed in real-time, resulting in a loss of value. Deploying AI at the edge involves utilizing artificial intelligence in an edge computing setting closer to the data source than central cloud facilities or remote data centers. David Purón, Chief Executive Officer at Barbara, said that, through their collaboration with UST, they would expedite the launch of projects necessitating edge capabilities, providing increased security, zero latency, and enhanced flexibility. He noted that this partnership allowed both companies to leverage their respective strengths and expertise in developing tailored digitization solutions for clients. This collaboration aims to orchestrate intelligent applications at scale across edge infrastructure, utilizing real-time data processing and local storage. By doing so, UST and Barbara intend to expedite the development of intelligent, cyber-secure, and decentralized applications for Industry 4.0. The advantages of employing AI at the edge include lower operational costs, quicker operations, enhanced customer experiences due to faster responses, and a competitive edge through localized data processing with improved privacy measures. Additionally, it eliminates latency, ensures regulatory and cybersecurity compliance, maintains operations in low connectivity environments, and delivers significant bandwidth cost savings. The partnership also positions Barbara to address digital transformation challenges alongside UST as they collaborate to establish a robust partner ecosystem.
