EDGE Node - PCTB101

The PCTB101 EDGE Node is an ultra-thin, battery-free sensor tag designed for real-time monitoring and asset tracking at the EDGE, tuned for the European standard frequency. Powered by RF energy from UHF sources over the 868 MHz frequency, including Powercast EDGE Hubs such as the PowerSpot® 868, the PCTB101 operates continuously without batteries. It captures temperature and humidity data and transmits it via Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE), enabling seamless integration into monitoring systems and mobile applications. As a persistent data endpoint, the PCTB101 delivers continuous environmental insights for EDGE systems and AI-driven applications—without maintenance, wiring, or battery replacement. The Powercast BLE smartphone app enables real-time monitoring of multiple tags simultaneously. The PCTB101 is currently available as a sub-assembly and development kit.
