Recognized specialist in advanced power management ICs (PMICs) for energy harvesting e-peas is further strengthening its commercial presence. The company has entered into a distribution partnership with Steliau Technology. This will cover the French and Italian regions, with scope for it to extend still further in the future.

Drawing on almost twenty years of industry experience, Steliau Technology supplies end-to-end connectivity solutions to its expansive customer base. The company’s multidisciplinary team is highly adept at supporting a wide variety of different types of IoT-related deployment. These go from smart homes and electronic shelf labels through metering, industrial automation, environment monitoring, asset tracking and lighting management systems, all the way up to large-scale smart city implementations.

E-peas’ AEM Series PMICs supervise the extraction, storage and delivery of harvested energy. Covering photovoltaic, vibration, thermal and RF based harvesting methods, they will complement Steliau’s established ecosystem. Working in conjunction with the wide range of wireless modules (WAN, LPWAN and cellular IoT) that the company offers, these devices will enable the power derived from the surrounding environment to be maximized.

“We see a great deal of potential for inclusion of the PMICs from e-peas in our customers’ products and installations. The low thresholds at which these devices can start operating is a clear differentiator, bringing major operational advantages to any system which is reliant on energy harvesting,” states Pascal Reynoud, General Manager of Steliau Technology. “In addition to being specified into new hardware designs, there are also opportunities for the e-peas PMICs to be retrofitted into existing deployments.”

“Steliau’s reputation as a provider of cutting-edge IoT technology and the application knowledge that its staff have built up, combined with our PMIC ingenuity, mean that this distribution partnership will be hugely beneficial to both parties” adds Luc Engrand, European Sales Director at e-peas. “Through it, e-peas will be able to gain greater momentum as a business – getting involved in a multitude of new projects where fully efficient energy autonomy is going to be mandated.”

Steliau Technology becomes a pan-european distributor of electronic solutions with added value by acquiring the Italian company Special-Ind. This operation is part of the Group’s strategic plan to strengthen its activities in Europe. By doubling the size of its workforce, the entire Group is expected to achieve an annual turnover of 85 million euros in the current financial year.

Special-Ind, with approximately 60 employees, is located in Milan and also has subsidiaries in Spain, Germany and France. Special-Ind’s solutions cover the fields of connectors, including automotive harnesses, HEV and EV, electromechanics, embedded systems and energy conversion.

After two years of collaboration, Kontron renews its trust and confirms Steliau Technology as a valuable partner to represent the Kontron Designed by Fujitsu line of products, in France.

Steliau Technology, specialized in the electronic, thermal and mechanical sectors is very proud to announce the distribution of Kontron Designed by Fujitsu products, complementing Steliau’s overall Embedded Systems offering.

This new agreement allows Steliau Technology to expand its current Kontron offering with the ability to source motherboards, SMARTCASE™ and complementary accessories formally available under the Fujitsu brand.

These products designed and manufactured in Germany comply with international industrial standards for a long-time availability. From mini-STX to large ATX, these motherboards are based on the most recent generation of processors and chipset platforms from Intel and AMD and use advanced technology components to provide to customers the most innovative solutions that are available on the market today.

Pascal Reynoud, General Director of Steliau Technology: “Adding this product line to our portfolio enables us to strengthen our coverage of the embedded market.
