Amotus Solutions is a high-quality design house specialized in embedded industrial devices. It is a company of 20 engineers, programmers and managers, brought together to connect a smart, sustainable and responsible world. Among others, Amotus offers a unique and complete IoT (Internet of things) platform for several major applications. However, the current platform has limitations that prevent Amotus from responding well to the growing demand of its customers. Indeed, Amotus notes that an increased life time and a long range of transmission are increasingly important elements in today's landscape of connected objects. Amotus is looking to expand its offering to capture the growing markets associated to the IoT by enhancing its IoT platforms with advanced functions, such as longer reach and increased autonomy, to gain a competitive advantage and to continue reaching more customers.****This project aims to develop a wireless Bluetooth Low Energy beacon operating in a stand-alone mode using one or more energy harvesting methods (radio frequency (RF), solar, vibration, etc.) and offering a longer reach. These advanced features will be developed by Professor Gosselin's team at Université Laval who is specialized in the design of low-power and wireless microelectronic systems. Their solution will enrich Amotus's IoT platforms by enabling longer reach and improved autonomy, which will provide Amotus with a competitive advantage to expand its offering and capture new and growing markets in the field of connected objects.

Amotus Solutions是一家专注于嵌入式工业设备的高品质设计公司。它是一家由20名工程师、程序员和经理组成的公司，汇聚在一起，连接一个智能、可持续和负责任的世界。其中，Amotus为几个主要应用提供了独特而完整的物联网平台。然而，目前的平台存在局限性，使Amotus无法很好地满足客户日益增长的需求。事实上，阿莫图斯指出，在当今互联物体的景观中，更长的寿命和更长的传输范围是越来越重要的元素。Amotus正在寻求通过增强其物联网平台的高级功能(如更长的覆盖范围和更高的自主性)来扩大其服务范围，以占领与物联网相关的不断增长的市场，以获得竞争优势并继续接触到更多客户。*该项目旨在开发一种无线蓝牙低能量信标，该信标使用一种或多种能量收集方法(射频、太阳能、振动等)以独立模式运行。并提供更长的覆盖范围。这些先进的功能将由拉瓦尔大学Gosselin教授的团队开发，该团队专门从事低功耗和无线微电子系统的设计。他们的解决方案将通过实现更长的覆盖范围和更高的自主性来丰富Amotus的物联网平台，这将为Amotus提供竞争优势，以扩大其产品供应并占领互联对象领域不断增长的新市场。
