An indispensable part of IoT sensor solutions is the hardware of the sensor itself. Apart from performing parameter readings, it also usually needs to have long battery autonomy (i.e. extremely low power usage), be compact, robust (against weather), designed for a particular IoT network technology, and of course be cost effective. Often, finding the optimum solution is often a trade-off between the various requirement, with priorities assigned as best fits the particular application. This is why a custom design is often the best approach.

Innovation

Telemonitron develops its own hardware using the latest available component technology. Innovation is at the core of what we do. This is particularly important in the case of IoT networks which themselves are constantly being upgraded. Telemonitron keeps abreast of developments in sensor technologies as well as in battery management hardware, as the latter is often the key technology enabler. Sometimes, applications call for bespoke sensor elements to be developed. As far as communication is concerned, it is a compromise between power available, payload, available network, costs, mesh requirements, and available modules.
