IoT ecosystems are reliant on distributing many Things into a wide variety of arbitrary environments, capable of measuring various characteristics and reporting data wirelessly to a central system. However, these devices are often in remote locations, so they must be designed to operate for long periods without maintenance, and in some cases indefinitely.

In this new post on Engineers’ Insight, Marc Eichhorn explores how small batteries can be combined with energy harvesting technology to provide long life operation for remote IoT applications.
