Solar Powered Telemetry

Texas Instruments
The eZ430-RF2500-SEH is a Solar Energy Harvesting (EH) development kit creating a perpetually powered wireless sensor network based on the MSP430 microcontroller. The EH module includes a high-efficiency solar panel optimized for low-intensity light, providing enough power to run a wireless sensor application with no additional batteries.

Microchip
The Machine-to-Machine (M2M) PICtail Daughter Board, based on GSM/GPRS modules, creates easy M2M applications capable of location-awareness. The daughter board interfaces with Microchips Multimedia Expansion Board and a PIC32 Starter Kit to develop a turn-key platform for apps such as texting, email, and GPS

QUATECH
A highly integrated wireless ethernet bridge module includes a radio, a base-band processor, an application processor and software for a "drop-in" web-enabled WiFi solution. Airborne™ modules provide instant LAN and Internet connectivity through standard ethernet interface to a wide variety of applications. The module is interoperable with industry standard 802.11 LAN and Internet connectivity with advanced security standards such as WEP, WPA and EAP. The built-in TCP/IP stack, RTOS and application software provide embedded devices with instant connectivity with simple configuration using Quatech 's HTML interface.

CINTERION
MC75i Wireless Module offer the fastest transmission standard in GSM networks. The MC75i comes with a TCP/IP stack over AT, serial and USB ports, and a RIL driver for Microsoft® Windows™ Mobile 6.1 based devices. The module provides 236 kbps in both up and down link, opening path to applications with high-volume data transfers.

MULTITECH
The SocketModem® iCell intelligent cellular modem is a ready-to-integrate communications device that offers standards-based quad-band GSM/GPRS Class 10 performance. This device allows developers to add wireless communication and GPS tracking to products with a minimum of development time and expense. The intelligence of the embedded Universal IP™ stack allows for automatic/persistent connectivity for mission critical applications and enhanced M2M functionality.

CYMBET
CBC-EVAL-09 is a universal energy harvesting (EH) kit, combining any one of multiple EH transducers with the EnerChipTM EP CBC915-ACA Energy Processor and the EnerChip CBC51100 100uAh solid state battery module. The platform enables designers to quickly develop Energy Harvesting applications. The EVAL-09 ships with a solar cell for initial evaluation kit testing.
