Cellular Data Transmitter Module

EIOT-PPSB-LPWA S7080-ERSPC  

Cellular Data Transmitter Module with backup ER battery
This module has been developed for collecting and transmitting environmental data such as temperature, humidity, acceleration, gyro, light intensity, magnetic field, noise level for also using on very low temperatures. It is possible to detect and send data in a short interval as being powered from mains. The LBS based (low energy, in- and outdoor) geolocalization offers a 500m radius precision, which is enough for basic operation. The localization data is sent to the E-Cloud together with the sensor data via the LPWA cellular network. In case there is a need of a more precise (outdoor only) geolocalization, the E-Cloud is able to send command (at next data sending) to the module to switch to GNSS mode with higher precision of locating. The module detects power shortage due to power failure or disconnecting the device, and automatically enters to backup battery mode, sending alert messages. With the Cellular Data Transmitter device, you can enjoy the advantages of daily data gathering and instant notifications.

Tracker Module

EIOT-TRCK-LPWA- S7080-ERSPC  

E-IoT smart sensor with cellular communication to sensor to cloud connectivity 
This module has been developed for geolocalization and tracking purposes. The daily LBS based (low energy, in- and outdoor) localization offers a 500m radius precision, which is enough for basic geolocalization in– and outdoor. The localization data is sent to the E-Cloud via the LPWA cellular network. In case there is a need of a more precise geolocalization, the E-Cloud is able to send command (at next data sending) to the module to switch to GNSS mode with higher frequency of data communication. Battery lifetime issues may arise, and battery replacement might be necessary after longer time of using the tracker in GNSS mode. 

Functions 

  • Cellular communication via NB-IoT/LTE-M
  • Indoor and outdoor localization via LBS and GNSS

e-zeroBatteryZone® 

NeoMesh FSK based Battery-Free IoT Network Nodes Powered by Indoor Lighting Energy

This year, we continue to showcase the smart IoT devices, systems, and state-of-the-art technologies developed by Endrich and its collaborative partners. In this paper we are excited to report on a significant innovation: we have developed — and will be presenting at the Nuremberg EmbeddedWorld 2025 exhibition — a concept for a family of smart sensors that distinguishes itself from competitors not only through its ultra-slim design and compact dimensions, but also through its array of advanced technological solutions.

Believing strongly in the power of collaboration, our development engineers at Endrich have envisioned a product family that was realized through a project characterized by genuine pan-European cooperation with the support of our international partners. The newly developed E-zeroBatteryZone® wireless smart sensors integrate seamlessly into the E-IoT ecosystem, working in perfect harmony with both their battery-powered counterparts and conventional E-IoT Internet gateways, all powered solely by energy harvesting — eliminating the need for batteries.

Endrich’s innovation is further bolstered by key components, including the low-power radio module from Denmark’s NeoCortec — an integral part of the project from its inception — the specially engineered, hairline-thin, environmentally friendly supercapacitor from Sweden’s Ligna Energy, and the unique organic photovoltaic modules (OPV) from France’s Dracula Technologies, which are capable of harvesting light energy even under low indoor illumination. These elements combine to make the system both effective and sustainable.

 Features 

  • Extra slim design a few mm-s of thickness only
  • Powered by an energy harvesting method using Ligna Supercaps and Dracula Indoor Organic Photovoltaic Modules
  • 7/24 operation without battery in an area lit up even by indoor lights
  • Low power, ad-hoc wireless networking powered by NeoMesh
  • Seamless integration into the E-IoT ecosystem (co-works with any of our existing NeoMesh gateways)
  • Result of tight inter-European cooperation between Endrich (D/HU), NeoCortec (DK), Ligna (S) and Dracula (F)
  • Sub GHz ISM band (868/915 MHz)

 Usage

  • In- or outdoor wireless sensor mesh networks
  • Parameter monitoring
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Streetlight control/monitoring
  • Wireless data transmission on zero power

e-zeroBatteryZone®

NeoMesh on LoRa® based Battery-Free IoT Network Nodes Powered by Light Energy

Taking the advantage of the fact that the NeoMesh protocol can also run on LoRa PHY, the first NeoMesh on LoRa® sensor module has been completed as the newest member of the E-IoT family. This is also a product, which was made possible through extensive cooperation: based on the Semtech LoRa chipset, Italian company Embit SRL created a radio module on which NeoCortec's ultra-low-power network protocol runs, which Endrich integrated into a solar-powered E-zeroBatteryZone® NeoMesh on LoRa® smart sensor network node.

The extremely low power consumption of radio modules running the NeoMesh protocol, it is possible to create large-scale, ad-hoc wireless sensor networks,enabled by automatic routing. A large number of intelligent sensors can be integrated into the network and deployed quickly without any on-site installation settings.

The ultra-low power consumption enables the use of the newly introduced battery-free devices, which are equipped with special solar cells and are suitable for continuous operation even under indoor lighting conditions.

The question arises as to whether, in cases where sensors do not need to be placed just a few meters apart, it is cost-effective to position the devices so densely just to maintain the operation of the radio communication protocol, many of which would only serve as repeaters or signal relay devices. Fortunately, the NeoMesh protocol, as a software stack, can be ported to other physical devices, so in specific cases, the Bluetooth module stack can be replaced, or the protocol can even be run on LoRa PHY. LoRa communication enables much greater range, meaning that a "sparser" mesh can be created to solve the task that traditional NeoMesh would only be able to address by adding redundant node elements.

In addition to the traditional NeoMesh-based device, the E-zeroBatteryZone® product family has been expanded with a new member, the NeoMesh on LoRa®-based sensor module, which implements the NeoMesh protocol's communication version using LoRa modulation.

At Endrich, we are pleased to offer a wide-range, locally deployable wireless network solution that utilizes energy-harvesting, battery-free technology to complement the E-IoT sensor family.

 Features

  • Extra slim design a few mm-s of thickness only
  • Powered by a solar cell and 7/24 operation without battery on solar cell power
  • Low power, ad-hoc wireless networking powered by NeoMesh on LoRa modulation
  • Higher cell sizes within the NeoMesh thanks to the longer range of LoRa
  • Seamless integration into the E-IoT ecosystem through the new NeoMEsh on LoRa gateways
  • Result of tight inter-company cooperation between Endrich (D/HU), NeoCortec (DK), Semtech U(S) and Embit (I)
  • 2.4 GHz ISM band

 Usage

The technology is recommended for use primarily in the following cases, where the following requirements are simultaneously met:

  • Low device density – Long distance between nodes (>50 m)
  • Battery-operated WLAN network is required
  • Relatively low throughput is sufficient

The fields of application are diverse, ranging from highly reliable wireless IoT sensor networks, automatic meter reading, advanced metering infrastructure, mobile ad-hoc networks, home control, building automation, industrial automation, alarm and security systems, to agricultural and forest monitoring, all of which require this type of advanced WLAN technology.
