Watch and learn how to power your cellular IoT product with solar energy harvesting! Nowi Blue Coral, Energy Autonomous Sensor Fusion Platform, is designed for developers to rapidly build cellular IoT products powered by solar energy harvesting. It combines the compact Nowi NH2 Energy Harvesting PMIC with the multimode LTE-M/NB-IoT nRF9160 System-in-Package from Nordic Semiconductor. The combination enables developers to rapidly and easily build both hardware and software for energy-autonomous sensor products. We guide you through implementing energy harvesting using Nowi's NH2 energy harvesting technology for cellular IoT products. Using the nRF9160 SiP we showcase the new Nowi Blue Coral development board and how the platform can be used to measure currents and optimize power consumption. Furthermore, we demonstrate a real-time measurement with power curves based on demo firmware and selected PV harvester and battery.

Agenda:
  • Who is Nowi?
  • Why energy harvesting?
  • Use cases and applications
  • All about the Nowi Blue Coral, Energy Autonomous Sensor Fusion Platform
  • Power and performance
  • How to get started
Nowi is a Dutch semiconductor company that specializes in the development of energy harvesting power management technology. Nowi has developed a novel energy harvesting power management IC that combines top harvesting performance with the world’s smallest assembly footprint and lowest BOM cost. Thereby it simplifies the design process and lowers the threshold for any company to develop ‘Plug & Forget’ products.
