With the launch of its BSC-IPG IoT access point, BSC Computer GmbH has brought a gateway to market that seamlessly connects EnOcean sensors with the Internet and processes data in real time for a wide range of applications. Based on powerful hardware from Intel, this information becomes a valuable tool for the intelligent use of energy as well as for meeting the challenges of demographic change.
Energy harvesting wireless sensors, which draw their energy from their surroundings, are far more than simply cool technology. They are indispensable when it comes to collecting data and digitizing our world. Data is an important driver of economic growth and, at the same time, facilitates more sustainable use of resources. Combined with seamless processing, data opens up new ways to shape our everyday lives independently of time and place.
Package of powerful technologies
The new BSC-IPG IoT access point from BSC now offers this future-viable combination. It establishes point-to-point communication with actuators and sensors that use EnOcean wireless technology and makes this data available directly via TCP/IP, the world’s most widely used data communication standard.
The access point integrates new embedded hardware from Intel together with the corresponding operating system based on the Intel Industrial Solutions System Consolidation Series for maximum reliability and comprehensive data security. The hardware thus runs only those programs that are authorized under the BSC certificate.
Data as a valuable commodity
The seamless networking of sensors and actuators with the Internet facilitates self-learning systems that adapt flexibly to changing situations and individual needs. This turns intelligently processed data into an important commodity for meeting the challenges of the world’s growing and aging population, with its ever scarcer resources.
Starter kit for application variety
A wide variety of applications is possible, ranging from Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions to demand-dependent energy use and even smart cities. BSC offers a starter kit for developers who would like to implement their own solutions for the Internet of Things. It contains not only the new IoT access point but also a selection of energy harvesting wireless sensors and actuators as well as the associated interface specification (API). This package permits the development, for example, of different visualizations, controls and apps for the Internet of Things.
