Exhibit Highlight: IoT Sensor Network Module

A sensor module for collecting a variety of data, essential for IoT business creation. Integrating low-power, high-precision and compact sensors with a Bluetooth^® communication module, the product is capable of acquiring pressure, temperature, humidity, ambient light and other environmental data, as well as six-axis (geomagnetism + acceleration) sensing.

A special app (for Android) is available for viewing data on a smartphone or tablet and for changing settings. In addition, radio certification has already been acquired for various regions around the world, allowing smooth, low-cost progression to demonstration testing.

At ELEXCON 2017, we will present actual application examples in areas including abnormality detection in factory facilities and agricultural ICT.

Other exhibits include the HAPTIC™ Reactor, which uses vibrations with outstanding responsiveness to realistically recreate the feel of objects in virtual reality; the compact, ink-free Inkless Mobile Printer ideal for carrying around; and V2X (Vehicle-to-X) Communication Modules, which Alps Electric started mass-producing before the rest of the industry. These products have all performed well on the market.

If you are at ELEXCON 2017, please stop by the Alps Electric booth.
