Adeunis has launched its ‘COMFORT’ and ‘COMFORT Serenity’ indoor environmental and air high quality answer, designed to be used in good buildings. The gadgets make use of temperature, humidity, CO2 (carbon dioxide), and risky natural compounds (VOC) sensors, delivering close to actual time information to the Cloud. Powered by Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9160 SiP (system-in-package), they supply mobile connectivity supporting each NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Web of Issues) and LTE (long run evolution)-M networks.
“With our sensors, building supervisors gain immediate access to crucial data on potential exposure to high levels of CO2 or VOC. These can have detrimental health effects so monitoring and maintaining safe levels become paramount. Furthermore, our devices ensure optimal comfort for building occupants through precise temperature and humidity measurements.” says Catalina Raba Mora, RF {hardware} developer at Adeunis.
Highly effective communication and vary
Nordic’s nRF9160 SiP provides a 64 MHz (megahertz) Arm Cortex-M33 devoted software processor, that gives ample processing energy to handle the suite of sensors built-in into the COMFORT and COMFORT Serenity gadgets. The SiP’s LTE-M (long run evolution for machines) /NB-IoT modem provides 700 to 2200 MHz LTE band help, 23 dBm output energy, -108 dBm RX sensitivity in LTE-M, and -114 dBm RX sensitivity in NB-IoT mode, offering a beneficiant hyperlink finances for strong communication and prolonged vary.
Each Adeunis gadgets make use of an intuitive Android software with NFC interface for streamlined community and software configuration. As soon as system information is transmitted to an LwM2M server or MQTT (message queuing telemetry transport) dealer utilizing nRF9160 SiP, customers can effortlessly evaluate and handle info.
“The integration with a LwM2M server opens up a world of possibilities for seamless device management. Harnessing the power of the LwM2M standard, users can effectively monitor and control the devices, gaining valuable insights into their operational performance and making informed decisions to enhance the comfort and well-being of building occupants.” says Mora.
By incorporating LwM2M customary, Adeunis supplies full and user-friendly options for indoor consolation monitoring in good buildings. This integration additional demonstrates its dedication to delivering superior IoT options that prioritise comfort, productiveness and buyer satisfaction. The LwM2M server can present full insights into working standing of sensors, battery life, community high quality, and information reception. Customers can delegate system administration, remotely configure gadgets, and take essential actions based mostly on collected information.
Unparalleled flexibility
“The nRF9160’s support of both LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies in a single SiP offers unparalleled flexibility to our global customers. Moreover, the Nordic SiP’s exceptional low power capabilities were a decisive factor. With companies employing multiple sensors in each building, maximising battery life was crucial. Our devices can achieve a remarkable lifespan of 15 years using a Li-Thionyl battery.” provides Mora.
Setting benchmark for energy consumption, the nRF9160 SiP helps superior power-saving modes like PSM and eDRX, enabling prolonged durations of sleep. With a ground present as little as 2.7 µA for each LTE-M and NB-IoT in PSM mode, and an eDRX interval of 655 s leading to a median present of 6 µA for LTE-M and 9 µA for NB-IoT, the nRF9160 SiP ensures unequalled productiveness.
“Our decision to partner with Nordic was a no-brainer, given their extensive experience in developing low-power consumption SoCs and SiPs. The provided reference designs played a pivotal role in expediting the launch of our product.” provides Mora.
