Hannover Messe: VersaSense presents MicroPnP: the world’s first plug-and-play Internet of Things platform based on SmartMesh IP from Linear Technology

Hannover, Germany, April 25, 2016 – VersaSense will present live demonstrations of its award-winning MicroPnP product range at Hannover Messe, Linear Technology Stand H23, Hall 9. MicroPnP is based on SmartMesh IPembedded networking and uses Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to realize zero-configuration wireless sensing and actuation at a significantly lower price point than traditional wired solutions.

MicroPnP is a complete IoT hardware and software platform that dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership for sensing and control systems. MicroPnP provides a unique value proposition:

  • True plug-and-play identification of sensors and actuators at 10 million times lower power than USB.
  • Ultra-reliable networking through SmartMesh IP from Linear technology (>99.999% end-to-end reliability).
  • Industry-grade security from the embedded sensor to the cloud.
  • A decade of battery lifetime, with accurate real time tracking of energy reserves across the entire network.
  • Flexible usage models: integrate MicroPnP in your network through ‘sensing as a product’, or consume data through ‘sensing as a service’.

These features have been achieved through a decade of industrial and academic research. MicroPnP won third place in the 2015 IPSO challenge and was nominated for the 2016 IoT hardware awards.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
