# Introduction ## Description The XDK110 is a wireless sensor device to enable rapid prototyping of sensor based products and applications for the internet of things (IoT). It thereby allows users a step in-between the first hardware prototype and series production, or simply as the first compact prototype. The device was built in a way that Bosch can easily adapt the product for mass production and the users’ unique sensor requirements. The XDK110 creates the opportunity for users to try out more advanced programming on the device itself to realize a sensor which processes data and reports events instead of simply transmitting raw data. The product XDK110 consists of the XDK110 sensor device, comes with a SW development environment called the XDK Workbench as well as access to the XDK developer community. XDK110 allows the user the ability to experiment with different ideas, with different sensor measuring principles, coupled together with different communication technologies. XDK110 thereby allows the user to better understand their end solution requirements, but also their potential series product before having to invest substantial sums of engineering development activity. ## Advantages * All-in-one sensor development kit: No need for component selection, hardware assembly, or deployment of a real-time operating system * Algorithm library and sample applications convenient for first-time programming * Drivers for all system components included * Secure data protocol * Small form factor * Built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery * Functional extendibility via the included extension board * High-level API for the standard user and low-level API for the power user [More info](https://appropos.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/XDK_Guide_General_Information.pdf) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
