Capability

Why IN120?

Four breakthrough capabilities that make IN120 the natural choice for engineers building the next generation of wireless sensor products.

Sub-microwatt power draw

Operates from coin cells, thin-film batteries, or energy-harvesting sources. Intelligent duty cycling keeps average current in the nanoamp range — power-source flexible by design.

Integrated ±1°C accuracy

Factory-calibrated temperature sensing baked directly into the SoC — no external sensor, no calibration, ready for cold chain and healthcare out of the box.

Broadcast data logging

Captures and transmits sensor history autonomously over BLE advertising — even without a nearby gateway. Your data survives dead zones.

Near-Zero eBOM

Sensor, ADC, MCU, BLE radio, and data logger in one 1.6 × 1.6 mm chip. Single 32 MHz crystal design — fewer parts, faster time to market.

Solutions

Built for Every Application

From the freezer to the factory floor — IN120 NanoBeacon™ powers wireless sensing across every industry at scale.

Cold Chain Logistics

Continuous BLE temperature logging from factory floor to pharmacy — every excursion captured automatically, no gateway required in-transit.
