Technology Overview

There are 2 core components

  1. Hardware Sensors
  2. Software and Data Stack

Custom Hardware "Project Eclipse devices are custom designed, from the electrical engineering to the enclosure, and calibrated in our hardware lab at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA. The sensors measure CO, NO2, SO2, and O3, as well as PM 1, PM 2.5, and PM 10, along with temperature and humidity. Data is transmitted via LTE-M direct to an Azure data stack. When taking hourly readings, each device should last about nine months on a single battery." image of Project Eclipse hardware

Data Stack Project Eclipse utilizes Azure to ingest, process, store, analyze, and visualize air quality data. Final raw data are available in JSON format via simple REST API, and the Urban Innovation team has developed custom R analytics, Power BI, and web visualizations to help customers monitor and get insight from the data. image of Project Eclipse software
