Beyond Batteries: Self-Powered Sensors & Always-On-IoT
summary
Claims battery-free indoor/outdoor IoT that harvests light with organic PV and stores energy in a 50 farad super capacitor, using neomesh over LoRa and sub-GHz nanomesh radios to extend range. Demonstrated nodes send 1,300 messages during the night from stored energy, combine EPS energy-harvesting ICs, Ligna organic supercaps, and embedded PCB antennas to gain 2–3× sensitivity. Real deployments include cold-chain, vertical farms, livestock and forest soil sensing.
