2. Problem
• Many professionals require multiple single-use
sensors (like AC Pros and Code Inspectors)
• Those sensors can be expensive, with plain
interfaces, and offer little to no expandability
• Some modular sensors have bland interfaces, and no
competitive software expandability – and are just as
expensive
• So what are your options? You may wish to
consider…
4. Credibility
• Created by George
Yu, PH.D.
• Realized inefficiencies and
redundancies of single-use
sensor devices
• Noticed typical high cost
that made them
inaccessible to most people
• Decided to make a
wireless, accurate, modular
sensor that used existing
smart devices with near
unlimited capabilities at
affordable pricing
5. Credibility
• Initially funded by kickstarter.com
• Soon became VC funded
• CNN Money as "the coolest gizmo" at 2013 CES
• Praise from Forbes, Bloomberg, Business
week, NBC News, Tech Crunch and Popular
Mechanics
6. Why NODE+?
There are five main reasons to consider NODE+
1. Modular platform
2. Near unlimited sensor options
3. Links wirelessly to your smart device "brain,"
4. LOTS of apps
5. The undisputed price-performance leader
7. 1) Modular Sensor Platform
Unlike competing sensors, NODE+ is a handheld sensor platform that uses
interchangeable sensor modules (for unequaled expandability) to connect
wirelessly to your iOS or Android smart device. The base platform includes:
• Motion Engine. Includes a built-in 9 degrees-of-freedom motion engine with
gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer to cover most mechanical
requirements.
• Expansion ports. Two expansion ports on either end can connect any NODE
sensor module providing excellent expandability.
• Advanced Bluetooth. Uses 2.1 or 4.0 Bluetooth (for low power & long-battery
life) to stream real-time sensor information to your smart device.
• Rechargeable Lithium Battery. Ensures uniform power and long run-times.
• Small Form Factor. As small as a roll of quarters, NODE+ is light, and fits in
your pocket for easy portability.
• Rugged Design. Constructed with a dense polymer and aluminum case, the
NODE+ base is durable enough to withstand a three-story drop, an all-day
exposure on the dash, or a brutal day at school.
8. 2) Expanding Sensor Options
With its modular design, NODE+ can attach sensors to either end. With an
ever expanding selection, you get ongoing options from a single device--
staying one step ahead of obsolescence.
• Large Selection. Current NODE+ sensors allow you to match
colors, measure temperature, humidity, pressure, light, detect
gases, acceleration, cycling or running cadence, radiation level
and much more (see list).
• Coming Soon. Upcoming sensors can measure fitness
performance, help with food preparation, facilities
management, (need list) and more..
• Custom Sensors. Don't see what you need? Request it. Your
interest may re-arrange the existing sensor roadmap or spark an
entirely new category.
9. 3) Uses Your Smart Device
Unlike single-use sensors with a fixed interface and fixed processor, NODE+
connects wirelessly to your smart device so you can leverage the combined
processing power, update your sensor apps and interface in minutes, and
increase your capabilities as frequently as your latest hardware or software
upgrade.
• All Popular Devices. Uses the latest Android or Apple phones or
tablets to leverage the combined brain power while reducing
multi-sensor cost.
• Modular Interface. Unlike fixed sensors (with plain interfaces),
you can update the interface and change capabilities in minutes
by downloading a new app.
• Covers The Distance. Your smart device can be next to your
NODE+ or up to 250 feet away (BENEFITS- EXAMPLES).
10. 4) There’s an App for That
NODE+ uses your smart phone or tablet interface for
potentially unlimited sensor software applications.
• Freedom To Design - Unlike other "closed" sensor
systems, NODE+ has an "Open API" unleashing the global
mobile development community to easily develop sensor
applications that run on your smart device for almost any
common or specialized application.
• Apps for Everything. Great for
chefs, repairmen, engineers, students, interior and
graphic
designers, athletes, inspectors, technicians, explorers, ho
bbyist, gardeners, farmers, and more.
11. 5) Price Performance Leader
One of the advantages of a modular device is lower cost. Affordable smart sensors and
software can be interchanged, leveraging the versatile base NODE+ platform which can be
manufactured in mass--reducing cost and producing better economies of scale--which
means you pay much less.
• Affordable Base Unit. The NODE+ sensor base unit is a fraction of the price of other
single-use handheld sensor devices or platforms. It also contains the core mechanics
that can be used by multiple sensors.
• Affordable Sensor Modules. The add-on sensors are amazingly affordable (some as low
as $25).
• Amazing Accuracy. Specialized NODE+ sensors usually match or exceed the range,
sensitivity, accuracy and overall performance of the most demanding single-use
sensors. Combined with superior apps which can quickly capture and extrapolate the
data--the resultant information is often quicker, more sensible and comprehensive than
possible previously.
• Affordable Bundles. The base and the sensor modules are often sold in bundles for
common applications--saving even more and making NODE+ accessible to
professionals, educators, students and amateurs alike as an undeniable price
performance leader.
12. So What’s Holding You Back?
• What is the guarantee?
– NODE+ has a 60 day no hassle money-back guarantee.
• What about support?
– Free technical support with the phone helpline or
email.
• How does it compare?
– Below is a chart that demonstrates the advantages of
NODE+.
13. Catch the Vision
Imagine a sensor device that you slip in your pocket to
measure the cadence as you cycle to school or work, on the
job (without having the pack a horde of single-use
electronics), within your physics or chemistry classroom (to
measure acceleration or boiling temp), then attach the
sensor as your safety light for your ride home, that uses
your smart phone to interface and record everything--all at
an amazingly low price (about the price of a school
calculator).
Now stop imagining--get know NODE+, (positioning
statement).

Editor's Notes
Problems Many professional require multiple single-use sensors (such as air conditioning pros that needed air flow plus humidity plus temp sensors for a single project).These sensors can be very expensive, offer plain interfaces (that require paper to log and summarize results) and offer little to no expandability.Some modular sensors have bland interfaces, and no competitive software expandability--and are just as expensive (reducing accessibility for education or consumers). So what are your options?
NODE+ was created by George Yu, PH.D. who realized the inefficiencies and redundancies of single-use sensor devices)), the typical high cost that made them inaccessible to most people, and took on the task to make a wireless, accurate, modular sensor that used existing smart devices with near unlimited capabilities at affordable pricing. Initially funded by the popular kickstarter.com, investments blew past the intended target and the company soon became VC funded. NODE+ has been recognized by CNN Money as "the coolest gizmo" at 2013 CES, with commentary and praise from Forbes, Bloomberg, Business week, NBC News, Tech Crunch and Popular Mechanics.
