Netclearance launches mBeaconSense

Internet of Things sensor offers new possibilities for tiny IoT devices of the future.

Netclearance has unveiled the mBeaconSense, a BLE device that integrates five distinct sensors - temperature, vibration, accelerometer, magnetic, light - into one IC board smaller than a one penny piece allowing extremely small form factors for novel use cases such as home care monitoring. A simple coin battery can last a year or more, taking Internet of Things sensors to places and applications that have not previously been possible.

The mBeaconSense embeds temperature, vibration, accelerometer, magnetic, and light sensors into a 15mm x 20mm circuit board making it the industry's smallest beacon to incorporate multiple data sensors into one device. This can be combined with the Netclearance’s gateways to create a next generation IoT ecosystem with tiny devices transmitting sensor data to the cloud.

Various scenarios can be programmed into the device using the basic processor and small amount of on-board memory. Any of the sensors can utilised to start the device transmitting data when certain threshold conditions are met, such as when a temperature is breached or a large accelerating force is detected.

Devices are entirely customisable for the end reseller, with many applications possible including home care, security, wearable devices, retail and in industry. Size and battery life is no longer a barrier to implementation for multi-sensor beacons.
