ScenSor which was launched September 2008 has a wide range of applications for both Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) and Ultra Low Power Wireless Transceivers in areas as diverse as manufacturing, healthcare, lighting, security, transport, inventory and supply chain management. ScenSor's extremely low power (200 times less transmit power and 20 times less receive power than competing technologies) over a 70 m range allows it to be deployed in industrial/process environments and remain unattended for many years. For RTLS applications, the technology delivers location precision that is orders of magnitude more precise than existing technologies (±10cm vs. ±5m).
"Today's shipping announcement is a significant company milestone for DecaWave" says Ciaran Connell, CEO DecaWave. "We are delighted with industry interest in ScenSor—since it was announced last September we have attracted expressions of interest from 245 technology companies worldwide, and we are on course to deliver a further 5 evaluation kits in the coming weeks, fulfilling our business plan commitments," he says.
