Atmosic

Atmosic is a fabless semiconductor device vendor building ultra-low power wireless transceiver ICs for the Internet-of-Things. The company’s devices combine highly efficient radio transceivers with on-chip energy harvesting [RF/light/mechanical motion-to-electricity] to eliminate the need for external power or batteries, creating “self-powered electronics”. The company was founded by the Atheros founding team, which invented Wi-Fi and was acquired by Qualcomm in 5/11 for $3.1B.
