Problem
Traditional IoT devices rely on batteries, leading to maintenance overhead, environmental waste, and limitations in deployment for applications where battery replacement is difficult or impossible. The need for frequent battery changes increases operational costs and reduces the lifespan and sustainability of IoT solutions.
Solution
ONiO develops batteryless, wireless microcontrollers that are powered by energy harvesting from ambient sources such as light and radio waves. This technology eliminates the need for batteries in IoT devices, reducing maintenance, enhancing sustainability, and enabling new applications in healthcare, smart homes, smart textiles, and smart buildings. The ONiO.zero microcontroller integrates radio, MCU, memories, and PMIC into a single package, reducing the bill of materials and simplifying integration. By removing the battery constraint, ONiO enables continuous operation and reduces the total cost of ownership for IoT deployments.
