AIRO Control: Ultra-Low Power BLE Firmware
High-efficiency RTOS-based firmware for TI microcontrollers optimized for nano-power and multi-year battery life.
A high-efficiency RTOS-based firmware for Texas Instruments microcontrollers, optimized for nano-power consumption and multi-year battery life.

An energy-saving device that requires battery changes every few months is a logistical failure. The technical and commercial challenge was to keep a persistent BLE connection alive while reducing energy consumption to such extreme levels that the device could operate for years on a single coin cell battery.
Developed in C using TI-RTOS. Aggressive power-cycling strategies, custom BLE advertising intervals, and deep RF stack optimization were implemented so the microprocessor "wakes up" for only microseconds at a time.
The ROI:
Zero-Maintenance Operation:
By achieving nano-power levels, the device becomes a true "install and forget" solution.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Reduction:
Drastically eliminates the high labor and logistical costs associated with sending technicians to replace batteries across hundreds of rooms.
Battery replacement destroys ROI in IoT projects. We design silicon-level firmware that squeezes every microamp, guaranteeing autonomous devices that operate for years without maintenance intervention.
