Interlink Electronics announces $175,000 SBIR award from NOAA

Interlink Electronics announces that its Gas and Environmental Solutions division has received a $175,000 SBIR award from NOAA for development of low-cost, low-power sensor nodes for monitoring air quality impacted by wildfire smoke. As a result of climate change, the number and severity of wildfires have been increasing substantially, as exemplified by the recent tragic events in Maui. In addition to the loss of life of both residents and firefighters, the indirect effects of wildfires can impact human health even if people are living hundreds of miles away from the fire. “Development of these sensors will enable us to penetrate into a large user base for more real-time air quality data,” added Steven Bronson, Interlink’s CEO and President. “This award continues our history of qualifying for SBIR grants, and we are also pleased to note that NOAA recognized the superior scientific and engineering backgrounds and talents of the Interlink team.”
