GoSense Wireless is developing ultra-low power sensor nodes for industrial, scientific and consumer markets. Its Stat-ID™ range of contactless sensor/logger products includes sensors for temperature, pressure, light, humidity, motion, carbon monoxide and force as well as application specific products and OEM modules. Every sensor node has a unique ID, operates from a coin-cell or energy harvesting device, and consumes an ultra-low 5 uW in standby. The wireless interface has a read range of up to 2 metres and is compatible with ISO15693. Nodes can additionally operate passively (without batteries) by scavenging energy from the EM field of the reader.
