Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, empowers engineers with the tools to design innovative electronic solutions for the future with its extensive infrastructure and smart cities resource centre. As the foundation of all cities, infrastructure encompasses everything from transportation networks to energy grids and communication systems. With increased digitisation, smart city technology enhances the infrastructure and improves daily life, such as by integrating smart meter sensors to collect valuable data on energy and water, for example.
By incorporating smart technologies, cities can enhance traffic management, decrease energy usage, and bolster public safety. Modern office buildings employ smart technology to create energy-efficient and healthier environments. Similarly, cities can benefit from these advanced systems and ensure infrastructures are well-maintained for more prosperous communities. Smart building and energy management systems combine technology, design, and a commitment to sustainability to adapt to our evolving work and living styles. Leveraging the right technology, such as air quality monitoring, improves our health and well-being by detecting pollutants and protecting us from harmful environments.
Mouser’s infrastructure and smart cities content hub features comprehensive articles, blogs, eBooks, and products from Mouser’s technical team and trusted manufacturing partners. In a recent eBook with Qorvo, Next-Gen Connectivity for Smart Living, experts dive into the technologies and standards, like Wi-Fi 7 and Threads, that are evolving the smart home and enabling every device to work in tandem. The success of smart cities lies in enhanced connectivity and the strategic use of sensors to continuously monitor infrastructure, like bridges, ensuring public safety and preparedness for future challenges.
Mouser stocks the industry’s widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following products and solutions for infrastructure and smart city applications:
- The QPF42094GHz Wi-Fi 7 non-linear front-end module from Qorvo features a small form factor and efficient layout. It includes a 2.4GHz power amplifier, SP2T switch, coupler structure, and bypassable low noise amplifier, enhancing RF chain performance. The module is ideal for access points, wireless routers, and more.
- The SHT4xA relative humidity/temperature sensors by Sensirion are 16-bit, high-accuracy, automotive-grade digital sensors for measuring relative humidity and temperature with different accuracy gradings. They fulfill demanding automotive reliability requirements such as +85°C/85%RH accelerated life tests. The sensor element is designed for reliable operation in harsh conditions such as condensing environments.
- XENSIV™ sensors and REAL3™ Time-of-Flight sensors by Infineon Technologies allow smart devices and robots to see, hear, feel, and intuitively “understand” their surroundings. The sensing capabilities enable humans to interact with smart devices more naturally and seamlessly. These intuitive sensing innovations make the sensors work for applications from smart buildings to wearables.
- The PD77728 8-Port PoE PSE controller/manager from Microchip Technology is part of their seventh-generation IEEE®3bt-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) power sourcing equipment (PSE) family. The device is a fully integrated 8-port PoE controller and PoE manager with integrated field effect transistor switches and current sense resistors. The PD77728 provides real-time protection through overload, under-load, over-voltage, over-temperature, and short-circuit and enables operation in standalone mode.
