Beacon technology is now one of the more popular features of smart phones and other new electronic devices. It can trigger events on your smartphone based on the distance from the radio beacon transmitter. However, one of the biggest difficulties with Beacon technology is the need to replace the batteries of each device on a regular basis. However, recently Ifinity startups from Poland have developed batteryless radio beacon technology that uses ambient electromagnetic waves.
This product, called "AirBeacon", is currently in beta and is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of this year. The product is powered by a single source of weak current environmental electromagnetic waves. “We have found ways to power them regularly by nearby external power devices (such as power converters or routers),†said Ifinity CEO Krystian Cieslak. Specifically, AirBeacons does not require a power connection. "They can get power from the environmental electromagnetic waves emitted by power supplies. A power supply can power multiple AirBeacons," he said.
In addition to eliminating the need for battery replacement, AirBeacons are smaller than many wireless beacon solutions. "These features allow them to be installed where they are not easily accessible," added Cieslak.
In the future, examples of applications for AirBeacons will include indoor navigation systems for shopping centers, electronic shelf label systems for hypermarkets, and equipment inventory for hospitals and storerooms.
