When to use this networking technology
- [Narrator] EH, which stands for energy harvesting, is the process in which energy is captured from the ambient environment and converted into useful electric power. The use of EH-based networks, consisting of self-powered IoT end devices, mainly came from the needs for IoT applications for a long-term operation. One solution to this energy harvesting based IoT network is the use of energy harvesting technologies. Once the energy is harvested, energy can be stored in a lithium-ion, or thin film battery, or a supercapacitor as a power supply for other electronic components on a sensor radio board. On the IoT end device, the power can still be generated or stored by energy harvesters. The use of energy harvesters on an IoT device enables the so-called "self-powered" IoT devices, and it creates a whole new range of low-power IoT networks, that can last for a long period of time. The EH-based networks can be used in many application domains, such as smart home, building automation…
