LI-COR has announced that its Carbon Node has been named the "Internet of Environment Solution of the Year" at the 10th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards. The awards, organized by IoT Breakthrough, recognize innovation in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) sector.
Taylor Thomas, Group Product Manager at LI-COR, said, "The Carbon Node is a major step forward in our Internet of the Environment framework. It's a foundational piece to an IoE ecosystem where advanced sensors, automated processing, and cloud-based tools work together effortlessly and ultimately help users understand carbon dynamics at scale."
The Carbon Node is designed as a carbon flux monitoring solution for collecting research-grade data. It features easy setup, automatic data processing, and scalability for different research needs.
Steve Johansson, Managing Director at IoT Breakthrough, commented on the award: "The Carbon Node represents a radical simplification of research-grade ecosystem carbon flux monitoring. Research-grade carbon flux monitoring has previously only been accessible to research organizations, and most MRV solutions rely on modeling, estimation, or inventory-based methods. The Carbon Node offers a simple and powerful upgrade to traditional carbon monitoring. It's faster to deploy, easier to use, and more reliable than legacy systems, while still delivering the precision that climate accountability demands."
The device includes daily footprint analysis and time-stamped CO2 flux data using industry-standard methods. Its core component is the LI-720 Carbon Flux Sensor which measures carbon dioxide flux at 10 Hz frequency.
According to LI-COR's announcement, these features are intended to provide researchers with reliable answers about carbon dynamics efficiently.
The IoT Breakthrough Awards aim to highlight leaders and innovators across various IoT categories worldwide. This year’s program received thousands of nominations from over 15 countries.
