Self Powered Beacon

DSC Self-powered Beacon
Battery replacement, system maintenance, and discarded batteries will cause huge subsequent expenditures and environmental burdens. Most mobile and sensing devices are limited by size or application scenarios and rely on battery power.
Battery life is a problem that must be faced in the development of the Internet of Things!

Positioning sensors/beacons are suitable for scenarios such as smart transportation, shopping guides, sports venues, smart medical care, smart homes, etc. However, battery replacement and system maintenance all cause high cost of manpower and money, not to mention the impact of waste disposal batteries on the environment.

However, the DSC self-powered micro-positioning sensor/beacon uses DSC light energy collection technology, combined with the self-developed micro power management technology, and low-power Bluetooth transmission, so that the maintenance of the micro-positioning sensor no longer requires high costs due to battery-less and wireless. The DSC self-powered beacon can generate electricity whenever and wherever there is light, which is more environmentally friendly and more sustainable.

The photoelectric conversion efficiency of DSC light energy harvesting technology in low-light environments (less than 10,000 Lux/approximately 10% of direct sunlight) is more than 3 times that of mainstream traditional (silicon) solar technology. In addition, DSC modules are light, thin, and flexible, so they are suitable for low-illumination human activity environment as a power supply source for wireless IoT device, signal transmission, and wearable devices.
