Origins
Sentilla was started as Moteiv by three co-founders and graduates of the University of California at Berkeley in 2003: Joe Polastre, Cory Sharp, and Rob Szewczyk. As Moteiv, the company was a major designer of wireless sensor network platforms. At the core of the hardware design is the Texas Instruments MSP430 MCU, a 16-bit microcontroller. In 2007, the company moved into its headquarters in Redwood City, CA.
Products
Sentilla implemented a Java Virtual Machine on its MSP430-based platform. Three of these platforms (including a gateway) and accompanying software was proposed for sale as the Perk Kit, for which Sentilla received a Duke's Choice Award. The Perk Kit contains all the hardware and software required to develop very tiny devices using the Java Platform, Micro Edition (JavaME), a version of Java technology specifically designed for small devices. It was a show device for JavaOne 2008.
In January 2009, Sentilla released the Sentilla Energy Manager for data centers, which tracks and analyzes power use throughout a data center.
