Energy-Harvesting Wireless Solutions with EnOcean Technology
ShortRangeWireless delivers EnOcean-powered building automation and industrial IoT systems that are wireless, battery-free, and maintenance-free
Enabling Sustainable, Battery-Free Wireless Automation with EnOcean Technology
EnOcean is a wireless communication protocol specifically designed for ultra-low-power applications. It enables energy-harvesting sensors and actuators to communicate in building automation, smart homes, industrial IoT, and other intelligent infrastructure environments—without the need for batteries or wired power. EnOcean technology uses energy generated from motion, light, or temperature differentials to power its devices, allowing for sustainable, maintenance-free operation in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Known for its robustness, scalability, and low latency, EnOcean is a key enabler of wireless automation. From lighting and HVAC control to occupancy monitoring and asset tracking, it supports fast deployments with minimal wiring, making it ideal for retrofits and greenfield projects alike. At ShortRangeWireless, we help B2B clients across North America harness EnOcean to optimize infrastructure, cut costs, and reduce environmental impact with reliable, standards-based wireless systems
