 EnOcean and Texas Instruments (TI) announced the
expansion of their cooperation to provide innovative wireless solutions
for building automation.
- Through this
agreement, the companies will jointly create solutions enabling
self-powered wireless sensor networks. To further optimize its product
portfolio, EnOcean will integrate TI components in its energy-efficient
wireless modules. EnOcean's battery-less wireless technology harvests
energy from its surroundings – motion, light or differences in
temperature – and enables new ecologically minded self-powered wireless
applications. "In Texas Instruments we
have a strong partner, optimally supporting our innovative and
self-powered wireless solutions with its ultra-low-power components,”
said EnOcean's CEO Markus Brehler. “Together we can effectively develop
market-driven Energy Harvesting wireless module solutions, which are an
ideal basis for automation systems in sustainable buildings." Texas Instruments and EnOcean have collaborated since 2005
and TI components have been implemented in a variety of EnOcean modules.
TI has also been a member of the EnOcean Alliance since 2008, working
with other members of the Alliance on energy-efficient solutions for
green buildings. "Energy harvesting
wireless technology reduces the installation cost of lighting,
heating/air conditioning control and monitoring by up to 70 percent.
This technology enables long term energy conservation and sustainability
for our customers,” said Laurent Giai-Miniet, general manager of TI’s
Low-Power RF business unit. "Cooperation with EnOcean is an important
step towards gaining a firm foothold in a fast growing market. The
deciding factor in the expansion of our relationship with EnOcean was
their proven expertise of energy harvesting technology, with wide market
experience and a broad customer base." www.enocean.comFor more CE
