RS Components has launched an Internet of Things (IoT) themed design competition in association with Low Power Radio Solutions (LPRS) to celebrate 25 years of working together.

The entries must be concept based around an application for the IoT which uses LPRS’ eRIC transceiver modules and a wireless gateway. The application could solve an existing problem or it could be a completely new invention.

The competition, hosted within the RS Components DesignShare competitions page, commences today (October 14) with closing date for entries being December 19. The DesignSpark community will be invited to vote, share and support ideas throughout the competition. The top 20 ideas, voted for by the community, will receive a limited edition eRIC development kit.

The top five entrants, selected by a panel of judges, will then be invited to take part in a Google Hangout in January 2015 to explain their ideas in more detail. This will be available for all customers to watch, which will be a first for DesignSpark. The final winner will be chosen and notified by the end of January with their concept developed and created into a working product as the prize.

All entries for this competition must be in the English language. For further details on how to enter with a list of full terms and conditions, click here (RS website) or here (LPRS website).
