Nanopower has developed a technology that further reduces the power consumption of any battery-powered system. In periods without wireless communication, Nanopower consumes a fraction of what other alternatives can offer today.
Industrial IoT systems should be installed and forgotten, logging and transmitting data as long as needed. In reality, battery-powered devices run out of energy too fast Nanopower enables value-creating solutions that are environmentally sustainable, operationally scalable, and cost-effective.
Nanopower has developed a unique Intelligent Power-Management Integrated Circuit (IPMIC) using silicon-proven subthreshold technology that can autonomously manage any sensor, microcontroller, wireless chip, or peripheral to reduce energy consumption by ~50-99%. This grants novel capabilities to all designers of battery-powered devices to optimize for increased performance and reduced product size/cost, while eliminating replacement cost/operational barriers for new applications in critical parts of the value chain and environmental impacts of disposal.
With EIC support, Nanopower will address the IoT battery bottleneck and become a Europe-based, world-leading ultra-low-power specialist.
