Wi-Fi achieved at 10,000 times Lower Power

In Passive Wi-Fi, power-intensive functions are handled by a single device plugged into the wall. Passive sensors use almost no energy to communicate with routers, phones and other devices.

With ‘Passive Wi-Fi,’ signals can be transmitted at rates up to 11 megabits/s – rates that are lower than maximum Wi-Fi speeds but are 11 times faster than Bluetooth – and decoded on any of the billions of devices with Wi-Fi connectivity. The new Passive Wi-Fi system also consumes 1,000 times less power than existing energy-efficient wireless communication platforms, such as Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee.

The technology has also been named one of the 10 breakthrough technologies of 2016 by MIT Technology Review...
