Many cleantech solutions rely on environmental sensor data as an integral component of their solution.
Sensar addresses a fundamental challenge in the burgeoning Internet of Things solution sector: managed, low-latency, highly secure, highly reliable wireless sensor data flow.
StarStream allows customers to flow data in real-time from IOT edge sensors through the plethora of IOT management platforms out to 2D web and mobile applications and to 3D tabletop sensor-driven holograms through Magic Leap and Hololens headsets. We are not aware of anyone else has demonstrated this capability. For example, Sensar has equipped the Alaska Department of Transportation with vehicle-mounted road weather sensor packs deployed in some of the worst weather conditions in North America. AK DOT has experienced 97% uptime with these sensors. This has allowed AK DOT to make money saving and safety enhancing road maintenance decisions. See
