Alta Devices (www.altadevices.com)
will describe how its AnyLight™ technology can harvest sufficient
power from indoor or outdoor light for a variety of internet of
things (IoT) applications. This is a result of Alta's unique solar
cell technology that not only holds a world-record for efficiency
at 28.8%, but also captures up to 5x more energy under dim indoor
lighting conditions than other solutions.

Why
|
|
Big data starts with small sensors. By 2020, experts predict that
there will be over 25 billion devices connected via the internet.
Since many of these will be unplugged from a fixed power source,
providing power without the need to change batteries will be a
fundamental concern. Alta Devices will discuss this issue and how
its technology can provide ample power by converting energy from
ambient light. This has the potential to address a critical need for
low-power wireless sensors in home, building, and factory automation
as well as enabling the self-powered internet of things.
