Overview
Leveraging the 48VDC ecosystem, we’re developing products that address Thailand’s recurring environmental challenges — the annual PM2.5 crisis in the North and nationwide flooding.
Planned Products
PM2.5 Air Quality Monitors Low-cost, long-lifetime sensors for households and communities. Chiang Mai faces severe annual PM2.5 from agricultural burning and forest fires. Affordable, reliable monitoring at the community level is needed beyond just government stations.
Flood Level Sensors Solar-powered, rugged water level monitoring for flood-prone areas. Open-source design allows communities and local governments to deploy and maintain sensors independently. Data transmitted via LoRa mesh — no internet or cellular infrastructure required.
Emergency Solar Chargers Portable solar-to-USB/48VDC charging units for disaster situations. During floods, grid power is lost for days or weeks. A rugged, waterproof solar charger keeps communication devices operational.
LoRa Mesh Network Internet-independent, long-range wireless communication connecting all sensor and monitoring devices. Solar-powered relay nodes ensure the network survives prolonged power outages. In normal conditions, provides low-cost data transmission. In disasters, it becomes a resilient communication backbone.
Design Principles
All environmental products will be:
- Built on the 48VDC ecosystem where applicable
- Designed for Thai climate (heat, humidity, monsoon rain, dust)
- Open-source so communities, NGOs, and local government can repair, modify, and produce locally
- Affordable through simple, robust design
