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 IPTM embedded 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 IPTM 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.
