Modules in an ad hoc wireless network (such as a sensor network or tactical radio network) must be small and inexpensive, and consume very little power. Furthermore, covert military operations require reliable electronic devices that are undetectable by enemy forces. To this end, Bluetronix is building some of its products around low-power, clockless microprocessors. Clockless processors, unlike their traditional synchronous counterparts, do not rely on a specific frequency clock signal in order to operate. Because of this, they consume much less energy than traditional processors, and their presence is more difficult to detect. Additionally, a clockless processor can operate at reduced speeds when voltages fall below a certain level, whereas clocked processors may fail, giving products based on clockless processors a longer life expectancy. Because of their elegance and simplicity, Bluetronix's algorithms can run on 8-bit clockless microprocessors, resulting in a small and inexpensive node design with the goal of running for an extended period on a single coin-sized cell.
