AMote24 is a unique energy harvesting and wireless platform for self-powered and ultra low-power applications

AMote24 combines highly efficient energy conversion and storage, a high-speed wireless interface and user sensor interfaces with intelligent power management algorithms that maximize energy delivery from the energy harvester

Key features of AMote24 include: 

• Tight integration of energy harvesting electronics and power management with wireless sensor interfaces provides a unique platform for self-powered applications. AMote can accumulate electrical energy provided by an energy harvester until it stores enough for safe completion of a sensing and transmission operation. A battery backup can be used for applications requiring high reliability.
• Intelligent control of energy conversion from energy harvesters provides energy gain of up to 400% (for certain applications).
• Wide range of input voltages (4V-80V) enables operation from a variety of sources such as electromagnetic or piezoelectric energy harvesters.
• AMote24 can use battery power as a back-up or primary source. Ultra-low power consumption of AMote24 can be used to significantly prolong battery life.
• Energy requirements of a specific application are addressed by a multi-bank low-leakage storage. Multi-bank operation allows sizing of energy capacity to various operations and fast initial startup of the sensor node.
• Each sensor node has a unique ID and therefore can be easily identified. Star network architecture enables easy configuration and management of the sensor nodes
• High-speed (2Mbps) wireless link saves energy on data transmissions and enables real-time transmission of data with much higher sampling rates then IEEE802.15.4 (Zigbee) sensor nodes. AmbioMote24 operates in the 2.4 ISM frequency band and therefore can be utilized worldwide. Two hundred and fifty six possible transmission channels enable space sharing by multiple AmbioMote24 networks and coexistence with WiFi devices.
• Long transmission range (80m with a rubber duck antenna) provides wide area coverage.
• A variety of analog (3ch ADC) and digital (digital interrupt-driven I/O, SPI, I2C and serial) interfaces ensures wide compatibility with industry-standard sensors

This unique combination of features allows AMote24 utilization in a variety of most demanding applications. AmbioMote24 is priced competitively to other wireless platforms that do not have the capability of working from harvested energy.
