EnOcean GmbH, developer of batteryless wireless technology, has announced the market availability of its new Dolphin platform. For the first time, the Dolphin system architecture enables the use of bi-directional, self-powered wireless sensors and actuators meaning EnOcean sensor modules can transmit information as well as receive it. This creates the basis for innovative wireless applications in building and industrial automation, medical engineering and countless other markets. The Dolphin platform enables sensors to communicate in two directions, resulting in a sensor network dialogue that facilitates entirely new possibilities in building automation and a variety of other processes. A room temperature regulator, for instance, is not only able to send the temperature set for a room to its central controller. In the reverse direction it can now also receive commands from this central point and indicate them. At the same time the radiator is controlled and the momentary room temperature adjusted to a new setting. In this way large hotels can control and reduce their energy consumption centrally, without having to set the temperature separately for each room.
