Project description
Boosting IoT potential with power-efficient chip
The Internet of Things (IoT), which links devices and other objects with people remotely, is the future of digitisation with a market value of at least EUR 1 trillion by 2020, according to European Commission estimates. IoT needs to use global navigation satellite systems to connect nearly 27 billion devices, but the sensors used need to be wearable, have long battery life and use very low power. The QLX300 project has produced the most power-efficient system-on-chip globally. It operates on a 1V rechargeable coin-sized battery and runs its sensors on a tenth of the power currently needed, securing IoT’s potential in Europe and beyond.
