With the advancements in low-power electronics and energy harvesting technologies, autonomous...
The company was recently granted NOK 6 million in research funding from the Research Council of Norway for a project together with the University of South-Eastern Norway.
Nanopower is a GreenTech organization, which technology is intended to mitigate the effects of human impact on the environment. In the scheme -Enabling Technologies- we have the ideal funding partner, the Norwegian government.
- Norway will go through a green shift and major restructuring. To succeed, we need research and innovation in business. The awards testify that there are many good applicants. I am impressed that there are so many Norwegian companies that think new ideas and develop smart solutions. Says Minister of Trade and Industry Jan Christian Vestre. The Green Shift - Innovation Projects
Technology enabling limitless IoT deployment
This project will lead to technology that enables systems to be energized solely by small batteries or ambient power harvesting. Resulting in a low power IC chip that will have a significant impact on the world of IoT.
- Today's IoT solutions have a major challenge that prevents mass deployment. The wireless battery-powered sensors run out of power too fast. It´s manageable with a few devices, but not when thousands are installed. By multiplying battery life and enabling power harvesting, the solutions become highly scalable, explains Nanopower CEO Tore Irgens Kuhnle.
- With this new technology the end customer will have, in addition to scalability, low operating costs and reduced environmental impact. We look forward to the collaboration with Lars-Cyril Blystad and USN, says COO André Grytbakk.
