Identiv, Inc., a global digital security and identification leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that the Company recently completed its initial multi-million unit order of IoT Pixel tags for ambient IoT SaaS company Wiliot. Identiv has since begun production of a follow-on order from Wiliot that was announced on the Company’s most recent Earnings call in May 2023.
“We are excited to continue partnering with Wiliot to accelerate the development of the revolutionary ambient IoT ecosystem,” said Amir Khoshniyati, VP and GM of IoT at Identiv. “With our uninterrupted production of IoT Pixels, Wiliot’s customer deployments are able to continue unimpeded, further optimizing their supply chains with the item-level intelligence collected from these breakthrough tags,” added Khoshniyati.
Retailers are leading the adoption of Wiliot’s revolutionary ambient IoT platform. With stamp sized IoT Pixels, end customers can track food and product transport through their supply chains, including location, temperature, humidity, and other conditions. By quickly identifying inefficiencies due to poor storage and handling, Wiliot customers can significantly improve their supply chain productivity and sustainability.
IoT Pixels are being used to identify product misshipments and track cold chain items in transit in real-time, enabling food waste reduction, automated compliance with the FDA’s new FSMA Section 204 rule, and the inventory accuracy required for world-class omnichannel distribution. Wiliot recently opened an office in Dallas, TX, to provide additional support for customer deployments.
“Wiliot’s mission is to make every single item an agent of change, and with a partner like Identiv, we are making that vision a reality. With demand for our IoT Pixels multiplying, Identiv’s continued production will ensure that we can continue to make timely deliveries to our customers at this adoption inflection point for the ambient Internet of Things,” said Roee Zeiler, Chief Financial and Revenue Officer of Wiliot.
Identiv’s connected ecosystems put the IoT in motion, creating digital identities for every physical object. The innovative RFID team handles research, design, development, and manufacturing. The company embeds tags, inlays, and labels in billions of everyday objects, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, luxury brands, specialty retail, athletic apparel, industrial applications, smart packaging, library media, toys, wine and spirits, mobile devices, cold chain items, and perishables.

Today Atmosic Technologies, an innovator in wireless energy harvesting platforms for the Internet of Things (IoT), and Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, announced a distribution partnership. Mouser will stock Atmosic’s portfolio of extremely low-power and energy-harvesting wireless Bluetooth® system-on-chips (SoCs) and evaluation kits.
Atmosic’s portfolio is designed with sustainability in mind, enabling developers to create connected devices that can use a single battery for a product’s entire lifespan; in some cases, these devices can even operate without any batteries. This extended battery life and battery-free operation is possible since Atmosic’s SoCs have the industry’s lowest power consumption. Additionally, Atmosic offers wireless solutions that can harvest energy from light, motion, thermal, and radio frequency (RF) sources. These energy harvesting solutions also support the new AirFuelRF™ wireless power specification, which uses RF technology to allow multiple devices to be charged and/or powered at the same time and from a distance.
“This distribution partnership is a big step forward for us to make our products more readily available, and thus make it easier for brands to bring to market sustainable wireless IoT products,” said Mike Fortin, Senior Vice President of Sales at Atmosic. “Mouser’s strong commitment to reducing their impact on the environment aligns well with our mission of reducing battery waste, so we look forward to working together to promote a greener IoT.”
Initially, Mouser’s inventory and website will feature Atmosic’s evaluation kits, as well as the ATM2 and ATM3 series of SoCs, with additional products to be introduced later in 2023. The company’s ATM2 and ATM3 SoCs combine an ultra-low power Bluetooth LE with an integrated power management unit. The ATM3 also adds intelligent management of energy harvesting sources to improve its efficiency and extend battery life or enable battery-free operation.
“Many well-known, tier-one consumer brands are already in high-volume production with Atmosic’s products, which is a testament to their commitments to sustainability and is also a great sign for designers looking to develop their own eco-friendly products,” said Andy Kerr, Vice President of Supplier Management at Mouser. “With Atmosic products now in stock at Mouser, IoT product developers around the world have immediate access to their extremely low-power wireless portfolio.”
Billions of batteries are being thrown away every year as the market for connected devices continues to grow. Atmosic’s innovative portfolio is working to solve this battery waste issue and help companies meet their sustainability goals. In addition to the environmental benefits of Atmosic’s solutions, extending battery life—or removing the need for batteries entirely—reduces maintenance time and costs for end-users.
About Atmosic Technologies
Atmosic™ Technologies is an innovative fabless semiconductor company, designing ultra-low power wireless and energy harvesting solutions to dramatically reduce and disrupt device dependency on batteries, aiming to deliver forever battery life and the battery-free connected Internet of Things.
