Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) said it has introduced a breakthrough low power wireless technology, Sensehere Technology, at its integrated free zone technology park.

The announcement coincides with Sensehere’s introduction of patented low-power consuming ‘mixed signal processors’ for wireless signal networks (WSN) in the region, said a DSOA statement.

Wireless sensors, vital measurement tools for data harvesting, are also referred to as the digital eyes, ears and nose of computing.

WSN technology is used to monitor and measure a number of factors such as temperature, pressure, movement, acoustics, chemicals and biological changes among other quantifiable aspects.

Tan Rasab, CEO of Sensehere Technology said: 'The technology is intended to be used with low power wireless sensing devices targeting fast growing sectors and widely applied in manufacturing, commercial and residential sectors. When designing the mixed signal processor, our topmost priority was system optimization and energy efficiency.'

'This is meant to achieve short and long-term savings by offering optimal sensor design that significantly reduce the lifetime deployment and installation costs of wireless sensors,' he added.

“With the market for WSNs expected to reach $20 billion by 2015, a great window of opportunity opens up for us to introduce and expand our presence in the region and abroad. Our operations from Dubai Silicon Oasis give us an ideal base to approach international companies operating in Dubai as well as reach out to companies in the Middle East region and beyond including China, India and Africa,” he added.

WSN technology is widely applied in monitoring and sensing applications in oil, gas, mining, utilities, smart building management and healthcare. Sensehere Technology’s mixed signal processor uses significantly less battery power than competing products and will be used in breakthrough sensing, monitoring and tracking technologies.

Ray Milhem, chief technology officer at DSOA, said the introduction of the mixed signal processors stands as a great success for Sensehere Technology.

'A success for our clients is a success for DSOA and knowing that our clients are reaching their true potential keeps us motivated to continue excelling at our services and offerings. We will remain committed to raising the innovation benchmarks by offering world class solutions and amenities to help create greater opportunities for our clients,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service
