MCCI contract win

 

Offering power buffering in Adafruit Feather form factor designed for
open-source maker community, MCCI's Model 4906 Supercap FeatherWing LoRa
Module features a 1F CAP-XX supercap to store energy and deliver burst power
for wireless transmissions in IoT devices

 

Sydney, Australia - February 8, 2022 - CAP-XX (https://www.cap-xx.com/)
Limited (LSE:CPX), the leading manufacturer of ultra-thin prismatic and
cylindrical supercapacitors, announced that MCCI Corporation, a leading
open-source developer for LoRaWAN® long-range wireless IoT networks, has
selected the ultra-thin CAP-XX
(https://www.cap-xx.com/products/prismatic-overview/) HW103 1Farad 2.75V
(https://www.cap-xx.com/products/prismatic-overview/) supercap
(https://www.cap-xx.com/products/prismatic-overview/) for its Model 4906
Supercap FeatherWing LoRa Module. MCCI chose the CAP-XX supercapacitor for its
thin form factor that fits easily in the Adafruit-Feather-compatible
footprint, and for its low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) which enables
the high bursts of power needed for LoRa wireless data transmissions in both
consumer Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial IoT (IIoT) devices such as
remote monitoring sensors.  LoRa® (from "long range") technology enables
long-range transmissions with low power consumption.

 

The MCCI Model 4906 Supercap FeatherWing LoRa Module
(https://mcci.io/model-4906) includes a 1Farad CAP-XX HW103 supercap, charge
control circuitry to manage the supercap, and a 2.7V buck regulator that
operates from any 2.4V to 5V power supply. It connects easily to Adafruit
battery clips. The module buffers power from a high-impedance power source
such as coin cell or lithium thionyl chloride batteries, and provides
low-impedance power for burst transmissions. Today's module is for use with
wireless boards that contain integrated boost converters. MCCI plans include
future versions with an integrated boost converter to allow designers to use
supercaps with Adafruit Feather M0 and other wireless boards without
integrated boost converters.

 

MCCI chose the Adafruit Feather form factor so the open-source maker community
could easily build on the module in their Adafruit-based designs. MCCI also
uses the module in its own remote monitoring IIoT sensors, and offers
engineering services for companies who want to design their own remote
monitoring sensors.

 

The Model 4906 Supercap FeatherWing LoRa Module is available for $20 from the
MCCI website: https://mcci.io/model-4906 (https://mcci.io/model-4906) .

 

"The thin CAP-XX supercap handles the periodic wireless data transmissions
that require high burst power, offloading that role from the battery and
enabling designers to use smaller batteries in often space-constrained IoT
sensors," said Terry Moore, CEO at MCCI Corporation. "Although we designed it
for LoRaWAN applications, it's a great power buffer any time you have an
occasional pulse load of a few hundred milliwatts with a low average load,
such as in sensors, fans, motors, and so forth."

 

"We applaud MCCI for developing a compact LoRa module that's easy for the
open-source Adafruit community to use," said Anthony Kongats, CEO at CAP-XX.
"This is another example of how our thin prismatic supercapacitors can be
excellent supporting actors for power management in space-constrained IoT
devices."
