Here is an interesting view to the future from a joint team from MIT, Harvard and the Mass. Eye & Ear Infirmary: a micro radio, implanted into the inner ear and powered by a natural battery that all mammals have in the ear. Many interesting challenges addressed in the process, including[bulletlist] Ultra low power, ...
What does a “smart city” know that others don’t? A smart city knows how to monitor, optimize, and control its infrastructure and resources to accommodate a growing population more efficiently and with higher quality of life. Example systems that require ongoing management include utilities, transport, waste, infrastructure and pollution, to name a few. The underlying enabling technologies play to Venture’s ...
With mergers, acquisitions, regulatory changes and re-orgs, one of the unexpected benefits to leveraging an outside product design firm can be consistency. This is not always the case of course. Some contract engineering firms are a revolving door of talent. If you pick up a project months, nevermind years down the road, you won’t access the original talent base. However, ...

Smart Cities & Campuses
Venture Technologies is at the forefront of smart city development, providing the wireless systems at the heart of urban utilities and facilities such as lighting. Using our RFOS technology, we are able to provide very low cost and low powered sensing and control nodes which form into ad-hoc mesh networks that collect data, communicate it and then communicate control data.
As a leader in thin film batteries, we are pleased to partner with IPS to provide ultra low profile and very long life energy harvesting based solutions, particularly for smart and embedded sensor nodes.
Part of the same Boston area technology cluster as Venture, Mide are experts in piezo materials and have a suit of vibrational energy harvesting solutions that we can use. We can work with Mide to create custom designed solutions optimized for specific applications.
Recognized as a platinum design partner for TI, we frequently use their RF and micro-controller devices. RFOS is often, though not exclusively build on a TI based hardware platform
Don co-founded Venture Technologies over twenty five years ago and has maintained a steady hand on the growing business over that time. He architected the original RFOS platform and continues to oversee its continuing development.
