ER0 / ER0S EdgeBox · Florida, USA

Self-healing connectivity
that can't fail.

The ER0S EdgeBox unifies Bluetooth Mesh lighting, Modbus field devices and 2 km DECT NR+ sensor backhaul into a single stream to your BMS or cloud — maintenance-free, and built where connectivity cannot fail.

DECT NR+ (5G) · our own MAC stack

We write the stack. Then we try to break it.

FLSEMI implements ETSI TS 103 636 Release 2 — MAC, DLC and CVG — on the Nordic nRF9151, clause by clause. Every unit is exercised against the test specification before anything is built on top of it, and then run into interference we generate on purpose. That stack ships as a product. The same bench is open to you as an engineering service.

Take the stack

Two ways to build on it.

One implementation, two transports — not two codebases. Pick the one that fits the product you already have.

  • HIF-UART — the nRF9151 behaves as a DECT NR+ companion chip. Your application stays on your own MCU, driving a register map over UART.
  • Embedded API — your application runs on the SiP's own Cortex-M33, beside the stack. One part, one image, nothing else in the design.
  • 915 MHz and 1.9 GHz from a single image, with the band chosen at start-up.
Or bring us your hardware

Engineering services on your board.

Figures measured on somebody else's reference design do not govern your product. We put your device in the DUT position and measure what it actually does.

  • Characterisation on your hardware — association, mobility, security, endurance, and the boundaries where they stop holding.
  • Integration support for either development model, including the host-side driver.
  • Written findings you can hold us to, with the method and the limits stated alongside every number.

Figures come from our own reference build on the Nordic nRF9151 and move as the stack changes; the firmware is under continuous optimisation, so what governs a delivery is the version shipped with it. They are not protocol conformance results and carry no regulatory meaning. The stack has not been submitted for formal conformance testing.

Flagship Platform

The ER0 / ER0S EdgeBox.

An industrial IoT gateway that bridges field-side Bluetooth Mesh / NLC lighting, Modbus RTU devices and 0–10 V / DI-DO I/O to Modbus TCP, BMS or cloud over a single PoE cable. The ER0S variant adds an integrated 5G DECT NR+ radio for long-range sensor backhaul — no SIM, no cellular subscription.

Core Technology

Three foundations, one platform.

The EdgeBox is built on a wireless stack that combines short-range and long-range connectivity with energy that generates itself — so networks stay reliable without batteries, base stations or SIM cards.

Bluetooth Mesh & NLC

Networked Lighting Control over Bluetooth Mesh — provisioning, scenes, scheduling and energy monitoring from a phone, scaling to 1,000+ nodes.

DECT NR+ (5G)

ETSI DECT-2020 NR (TS 103 636, Release 2) on licence-exempt spectrum — 915 MHz & 1.9 GHz NR+ band support from one image with the band chosen at start-up, self-healing decentralized mesh with no base station and no operator.

Self-Power & Harvesting

Battery-free switches and sensors harvest kinetic and ambient energy, proxied straight into the mesh — no wiring, no batteries, zero maintenance.
