Next generation battery cuts out NRE costs
Recently launched by Varta Microbattery and now in stock at Flint Distribution, the Varta Easypack is billed as the ideal solution for next generation battery requirements.
According to Flint, eDevice SmartStack can bring truly open Internet connectivity to any device, on any infrastructure, anywhere, without using proprietary hardware and protocols, gateways or specific ISPs.
It offers, a complete connectivity solution on virtually any physical layer (PSTN, Ethernet, GSM etc), with the same user-friendly interface on a single off-the-shelf chip.
With eDevice SmartStack from Flint, users can send and receive information via email or remotely access and interact with any class of equipment - from office machines to washing machines via PDAs and industrial controllers.
SmartStack is the first technology of its kind in the new Internet appliance segment.
It contains both the physical layer (such as a software modem required for the physical connection to the Internet) and the Internet protocol stack necessary to perform Internet transactions (e-mail sending/receiving, FTP file transfer, single-page web server) integrated onto a single chip.
Flint is offering eDevice SmartStack technology as a software license to Internet enable a high volume of units, or as a hardware solution for lower volume applications down to a dozen machines.
In addition, it will be offering the recently added eDmod, a plug-in module with network interface for integration into existing board designs, and eDbox, an external addon solution complete with a serial port and network interface.
These offer even simpler solutions in the Internet devices connectivity market.
