Russian Federation Company JSC Intersoft Eurasia has been working on a Radiation Sensor Module for Google’s Ara modular smartphone.

This radiation sensor module is currently the only one of its kind and will be a very useful module for persons who are concerned about radiation levels in their immediate surroundings. Recent incidents such as the catastrophe that took place at the Japan, Fukushima Nuclear Power Station show just how useful this module can be.

“DO-RA.Module function for Ara project is to develop a unique line of ultra-compact dosimeters under single brand DO-RA, based on devices and techniques (patented in Russia, USA, China, and Japan) of silicone detectors production with world class performance under its own brand DoRaSi, including reading electronics with a set of user programs DO-RA.Soft in 23 languages and original branded design.

Presently, we have completed development of a 18х18х4.5 mm device of the DO-RA.Module line based on our proprietary solid-state radiation detector patented in Russia. Within Ara project, our device is required to use signals of i2C lower level protocol, and everything else would be processed by the Ara smartphone processor. All modules will have common power supply (3.5 V).”

Here are some new photos of the Do-Ra radiation sensor module in development and testing:

The JSC Intersoft Eurasia team has been working hard on the modules and is hoping that they will have them ready for purchase at the First Ara Pilot Program which is expected to take place in Puerto Rica later this year.
