As its name implies, the BlueUSBKey adds Bluetooth®5 connectivity in addition to USB.
Like its USB siblings, it is available in two configurations: standard and Pro, maintaining all their features, including the popular RS232 serial interface and the support of RadioButtons and RadioSensors in the Pro variant. When connected to a personal computer or a tablet, it is immediately recognized as a composite HID keyboard+mouse device, regardless of the interface used (Bluetooth or USB).
It is backwards compatible with all the existing software applications. And it adds a lot of new features, such as: battery operation, analog inputs and potential-free output contacts capable of switching loads up to 24V.

Official inauguration of the USI's Academy of Architecture Library
After more than 2 years of work, the completely renovated Palazzo Turconi, home to the USI Academy of Architecture's Library (Università della Svizzera italiana), has been officially inaugurated on Wednesday 7 July 2021 in Mendrisio. The new premises, which are now open to the public, occupy 1800 m2, with 110 individual study stations and 4 study rooms for group work.
The building control system, responsible for the management of the lighting and the sunblind actuators of the whole building, has been engineered and commissioned by MEET, using state of the art Lonworks® and DALI® technology. The whole system consists of more than 400 individually addressable and dimmable LED lamps and over 100 motorized sunblinds with confort functions.
After the successful conclusion of the ASAR (Array Synthetic Aperture Radar) development project, its first real application has been a long term survey in the southern Alps of Canton Graubünden, Switzerland. The task is to monitor small displacements near to a quarry and observe relationships with weather conditions.
The result of the 14 month survey, therefore spanning over a period covering the four seasons, has been the development of a risk map of potentially unstable slope areas in function of the precipitations.
Furthermore, it has been possible to identify critical regions that needed stabilization interventions.

GRAND PRIX MÖBIUS SUISSE 2018 nomination for the ASAR project
The ASAR (Array Synthetic Aperture Radar) project, has been nominated to be one of the finalists which will compete for the award of the XXII Edition of the GRAND PRIX MÖBIUS SUISSE (2018) in the cathegory "Swiss Quality Innovation in the Digital and Environmental technologies"
The project, conducted in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) and a group of Swiss companies active in the field of geological surveying and sensing, was aimed at the development of an advanced terrestrial synthetic aperture radar. Its main application is terrestrial risk monitoring (landslides, constructions).
ASAR (Array Synthetic Aperture Radar), a very challenging and successful research project aimed at the development of an advanced terrestrial synthetic aperture radar, has been officially concluded today (6th of December, 2016) during a closing ceremony with the participation of all project partners.
With a duration of almost 3 years and an overall cost of over 900'000 CHF, it is certainly one of the largest R&D projects in which MEET has ever been involved.
The revolutionary radar prototype has been developed in a consortium including - along MEET - the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) and a group of Swiss companies active in the field of geological surveying and sensing. Due to its innovative content, the project has been sponsored by the Swiss Federal Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI).
A first series of field tests carried out in Ticino's alpine regions to monitor landslides and road bridges has revealed the potential and accuracy of the system.
The prototype is now being engineered towards a rugged commercial product. MEET will be the main supplier of the electronic radar components and signal processing subassemblies.
