Epishine and Atmosic Create New Possibilities for Low-Power Electronics

Epishine and Atmosic have combined forces to create an ultra-thin self-powered beacon. Both parties produce components for energy harvesting. Atmosic Technologies has designed ultra-low power wireless solutions to dramatically reduce the power consumption of connected devices. When Atmosic’s ATM3 Bluetooth system-on-chips (SoCs) are combined with Epishine’s indoor solar cell, the beacon can harvest enough energy […]
