Ultra-low Power Wireless Asset Tracking in Retail, Healthcare & Industrial

Advances in ultra-low power (ULP) wireless technologies enable retailers worldwide to better connect, engage and serve their customers more than ever before. With customer loyalty and satisfaction at stake, retailers look to asset tracking for inventory management, giving them the real-time ability to locate merchandise and devices used by sales associates.

Asset tracking and ultra-low power wireless play similarly important roles in healthcare settings to improve quality of patient care. For example, wireless asset tags can be used to easily find mobile assets in hospitals, such as wheelchairs, diagnostic equipment, infusion pumps and emergency carts.

Ideal for handheld devices and asset tags operating on coin cell batteries, Microsemi offers a portfolio of sub-GHz radio transceivers delivering ultra-low peak current, supporting the design of very compact, short-range wireless sensors. Microsemi also provides several systems to enable time accuracy and energy efficiency in your wireless network infrastructure.

Building Monitoring & Management

Today’s building management systems (BMS) also use wireless technologies for more granular control and monitoring to reduce building energy use and improve performance. Wireless controls can link mobile devices and sensors used in various building systems, such as security and access control, lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and fire safety. Ultra-low power wireless, battery-operated sensors and devices are easily installed, allowing access to challenging and hazardous spaces where cables cannot be used. Because there is no need to re-route cabling, there is flexibility in design and sensor communication planning.
