An estimated 500Bn devices connected to the internet are going to be produced by 2030. Making reliable ultra-low power connected devices is a complex and lengthy process. The UK startup was founded by two engineers in chip design. They went to solve the typical problems challenging the uptake of IOT connectivity technologies using standard WiFi medium and operating in an extremely constrained power envelope.

It is often that OTS (Off-The-Shelf) instruments are not the optimal option. They either have a hefty price tag, or not customised to specific requirements, or not compact, economical and robust enough as a commercial POCT product.
