IBEX was commissioned to develop the hardware and embedded software for a new street-based bicycle rental station.
With power typically provided from a rechargeable battery pack, for low-cost street installation, all of the system electronics were designed for minimal power consumption and ultra-low power sleep states. Operating times of many weeks were achieved between battery changes.
Other features included bike unique ID detection through a bespoke RFID solution, GSM connectivity to the clients cloud servers, optional solar cell charging and a complete PC based software package to provide engineer functions and software upgrades.
