FRIWO FOX NEO Insight Series Part 3 (Focus on Application)

What can the FOX NEO Be Paired With?
One area in global development that is creating a lot of hype and excitement is IoT – Internet of Things. There is lots of talk globally about what the potential is and even talk about racing to replace the standard battery with something specifically developed to power IoT as per this Financial Times Article. I can't see this happening anytime soon, Li-Ion batteries will dominate this space for years to come and along side the FOX NEO, Haredata Electronics also have a range battery packs on offer.
For me IoT is very broad at the moment and it can mean different concepts to different people or companies. In my opinion IoT is simply a network of interconnected things or devices which are embedded with sensors, software, network connectivity and necessary electronics to enable them to collect and exchange data.
It is worth pointing out at this point that Haredata Electronics and FRIWO are currently developing an IoT power supply unit that will in the first phase contain an IoT backpack to allow connectivity with an app and you will be able to control the power supply to the device via the power supply unit and the app. The second phase will be the unit built into the power supply unit but that is another blog for another day – at least you get a sneak preview.

Anyway back to the FOX NEO and why I mentioned IoT. Well IoT contains a broad range of devices and experts reckon that there will be 75 billion devices connected to the Internet of Things by 2025 which by my calculation based on the population today means roughly that every person in the world on average will own around 10 IoT devices. The devices will range from mobile phones to interactive watches to gaming gadgets to smart televisions and to toys – the list is endless and these are just devices for consumers. I haven’t even mentioned medical devices!
Most devices will require a power supply unit or a charger and most devices will have a modern, sleek design. If you have read series 1 and series 2 of the NEO blogs you will notice the common denominators. The FOX NEO is a power supply unit and it looks ultra-modern. The consumer demands quality as highlighted in Part 2 of the NEO blogs and the FOX NEO certainly delivers.
Haredata Electronics have worked with many companies in the medical device world and have been involved with some fantastic projects over the years. We know all too well the hurdles faced when developing a new medical electronic device and we certainly have the knowledge and agility to be able to adapt and remain flexible with the FOX NEO. The FOX NEO meets all medical approvals and would be a perfect partner for delivering power to new, modern devices. Equally, it will power current devices if your existing power supply unit or charger isn’t as reliable as you had hoped.
To summarise; quite simply, the FRIWO FOX NEO will power any device that requires an external power source providing the power requirement falls within the FOX NEO range. It has a number of global approvals so can be used with consumer devices or medical devices and for those who are more conscious about helping to conserve power can adopt the FOX NEO knowing that from a visual perspective you know if it is switched on or off.

INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLY FOR MEDICAL EXOSKELETONS A FRIWO systems solution in practice Finally being able to walk again. ExoAtlet, the renowned medical technology company, wants to grant that exact wish to its patients with physical disabilities. The specially designed and built exoskeleton allows people who have been confined to a wheelchair to stand freely, and without assistance, for the first time since their disability – and not only stand, but walk! The “ExoAtlet II” skeleton allows the wearer to move at different speeds as well as across different types of terrain without being hindered by stairs or other obstacles.

Switchmode Power Supplies vs Linear Power Supplies
The vast majority of low voltage external power supplies sold globally these days are switching (switchmode) units, as opposed to the original Linear technology, which is only considered appropriate for certain niche markets due to it’s inability to meet required efficiency standards.
In this article we will explore just some of the technical aspects & features and benefits of Switchmode topology vs Linear.
The micro USB connector has been the most common connector for plug top devices for the last few years, but as with everything the times are changing. This is where the Type-C USB has started to step in, with more and more pieces of tech coming with a Type-C charger rather than the old favourite. So the question is why? If the old micro USB isn’t broken then why ‘fix’ it?
