GreenPeak Selected by the European Space Agency

ESTEC, the European Space Research and Technology Centre, is the technical heart of ESA - the incubator of the European space effort - where most ESA projects are guided through the various phases of development. To reduce the weight of satellites, engineers at ESA assess the replacement of data cables with wireless for sensors in and outside the satellite. The wireless communication technology must be proven in the field and designed to enable superior RF performance in satellite applications. The selection requirements are based on high reliability, extreme battery life time (+15 years) and robustness against interference.

How to Make the Next-Generation Smart Home Wireless Network Green

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:09:31 EDT

The age of the SMART and GREEN home network is coming. For decades, people have been talking about the new "connected" home but until now there has not been effective drivers - except for those early innovators who demand new and cool. However, with the potential of marketing new services for cable companies and service providers, as well as the power and ecological advantages of ultra low power wireless, that day is here. These products are in the process of being rolled out and within a short time should become commonplace

The Third Home Wireless Network will be Smart and Green

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 11:33:52 EDT

Why are most homes still living in the tech dark ages? Gurus and tech-evangelists have long been promising the smart home – the automated home with devices that talk to each other, with appliances and central home systems that can be controlled from a home dashboard or over the internet. Except for a few hobbyists and early innovators, most homes today are still stupid. However, with the arrival of the new third home wireless network, this is beginning to change. Most homes already have two wireless networks – the cordless phone network for communication and the data network – usually WiFi. Both are very effective for high bandwidth, power gulping applications like watching internet videos and talking on the phone. However, for many less data intensive communications, the new ultra low power networks – based on the 802.15.4 standard and new ZigBee standards (including ZigBee RF4CE and ZigBee Green Power) promise to not only make our homes smart, but to do it in a way that is both green and maintenance free.

No More Batteries

The new generation of Ultra low power wireless technologies promise to revolutionize home and business electronics. New devices for games, home entertainment, security, business & home automation, industrial controls, health monitoring, retail signage, etc., will be able to function on a single cell watch battery for decades or may be able to entirely dispense with batteries by harvesting energy directly from the environment around them.

The Third Wireless Evolution – Sensor Networks?

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:00:00 EDT

If you ever had the foresight in 1970 to wonder along what sequence of events wireless technologies would start penetrating society, you probably would not have started first with high quality voice networks, then followed with high speed data-networks and finally ended with low data rate, low duty cycle simple sense and control networks. Most likely you would have suggested a sequence the other way around: let's start "slow and easy" with sense and control networks (sending temperature information every 5 minutes and control our heaters or air conditioners); then you may have guessed that this would have been followed by more complex data networks, as a higher speed next generation data network, and finally the wireless revolution would have been completed with the most complex voice networks with its high demands on low latency and high quality.
